This is Microsoft we're talking about
The future for Microsoft is like this:
If someone else comes with a clever brand new market idea, (IE: the internet, smartphones, consoles, et all)
We'll throw endless amounts of cash into creating our own version of it.
In the mean time we will kill as many old APIs, programs and platforms as we see fit.
There, that's MS's vision of the future, one where they dominate, because they have to.
Why would anyone in this day and age would pay attention to MS in other areas than how expensive and confusing their licensing is, its a mystery to me.
