(Actually that is a separate matter and I agree with you completely. They need to return to their roots and not do any of that spoiled only-child stuff (no offense to people who are an only child, I just can't think of a better example, and of course if someone is an only child they can still learn to cooperate-etc.)
If you want, Uber, you can be a child who doesn't share their toys: just create something new again! You can't retain a monopoly otherwise. Wouldn't you rather keep growing, like Google after search, than retain a hundred percent of some single tiny specific market, like Windows as a monopoly? Just take a look at the two respective stock charts (goog and msft, max timeframe).
I actually take this subject totally seriously. However it's orthogonal to what we were discussing. For anyone who doesn't know what we're talking about, it doesn't matter here.)
