The irony being that they picked up the poster child of the untractable CS problems to give it a try.

Perhaps some company introspection would make more sense than investing in an unproven, (currently) hard to monetize CS problem.

What business wants from Microsoft is It Just Works. The same thing business wants from the power company and the water company. No constant fixes. No viruses. No crashes. Overall, corporate America liked Windows 7 and does not want to upgrade.

Maybe they could focus on that for a while.
