I don't agree with this. MS was the first to try to sell a tablet. This is a return for them. I think they see iOS as a firewall against antitrust and another platform for their products (they sell a windows license for nearly every apple computer). I think they see services as a cash cow.

Have you seen Fiona?

I am brand agnostic. My home has a WII, a PS3, and an Xbox. We got the PS3 because it was the best, most versatile home entertainment console. We got the WII because we thought we wanted to play all those jump around games. We have an Xbox because MS has out-consoled Nintendo and Sony. Kinect, Live, Xbox exclusives, the Xbox Live Arcade, and relentless price cuts have elevated Microsoft to the top of an industry they were not in eleven years ago (11/15/2001).

I think they have the money and vision to lead in any industry where they choose to compete. I'd be shocked if they did not think entertainment was the place to be. Time will tell.
