Your points are all valid. However, you're comparing Apples to Oranges. MSFT makes a large chunk of their revenue from Enterprise customers. I don't think it's fair to put the two companies in the same category.

Your larger point however, I def agree. Microsoft diversified itself, and Facebook will eventually too.

As the saying goes "This too shall pass".
