"What will the Internet look like 10 years from now? Will it look more like one big pay-per-view channel, or more like an open street fair, or will it be somewhere in between? The answer will be heavily influenced, of course, by the competition between the King of Search and the current desktop market leader. On November 2, 2005, Microsoft announced its most major new initiative in 10 years, and although the announcement was vague, it is clear that Microsoft intends to directly take on Google on Google's own terms: search, services and advertising."

What's an OS, anyway? Is it the kernel? the GUI? the Applications that surround it (MSN IM, IE)? the enterprise support? I don't think that you can objectify MS's businesses as having only two profitable arms.
I'm quite certain that Microsoft Games is not a small group either, nor will XBox 3... you know it's coming, and it's going to kill Playstation 3 and 4.
