It's a changing face for Microsoft, they have to do something. I think Microsoft is losing focus, instead of concentrating on their OS, they launch online services like BING which I think is a huge mistake. They are losing their core focus, releasing code to open source is a small gesture in their attempt to change.
They disappointed the Street today by not meeting expectations and showing weakness in overall sales. I think they need to dump the fat and go back to developing the core product, which is the OS, which wasn't that good to begin with. http://www.streetinsider.com/Hot+List/Microsoft+(MSFT)+Blows+It...+Could+Blow+The+Entire+Tech+Rally/4815790.html
