It should be interesting to see if Microsoft can compete on this many fronts; Gaming Consoles, Desktop OS, Server OS, supercomputing, search, email, mobile OS, embedded, hardware, productivity, business intelligence, databases etc...

They've got the money and the brains, but it's really more like "ok, let's try a bunch of things and see what sticks"

I for one would far rather see Microsoft compete one just one front - interoperability. Interoperability with other platforms. Open-ness.

So far, Microsoft are several zillion miles behind the competition on this front.
