We here at OSNews haven't really been reporting on this, but if you're following other tech websites, you will undoubtedly know that Microsoft has been axing a number of products and initiatives lately. It seems as if Microsoft is doing what many companies do in economically dire times: cut the cruft, and focus on your core aspects.

As the Zune is not sold outside the US (and maybe one or two other places) but not in Europe it was never going to have a chance to become an 'iPod beater'.
I'm sure there are lots more things like 'Plays for Sure' that will come back and bite Microsoft in the future.
If anyone from Microsoft reads this and has any influence PLEASE, PLEASE kill off sharepoint & biztalk.
Ok, I'm dreaming but these two abominations give me more problems and any other their products by an order of magnitude.
