legacy. Microsoft monopoly on desktop devices has always been about that: running legacy apps from the era when IBM essentially gave them the market. They wish to perpetrate that into mobile space as well.
unfortunately for them, Angry Birds and the likes are not such legacy apps
another big niche for Microsoft has always been games too and again it's a no-no: all those heavy gear games from the PC do not translate nicely at all to the small screen and touch interface
the king is naked and is trying to stay afloat in a rapidly changing market: no one needs behemoth desktops anymore for most tasks when a smartphone or tablet is readily available and incredibly more convenient... next big thing is take away the need for any keyboard at all, even virtual, by better voice recognition software and hardware able to cope with it.
