But what is any culture worth if it is so poorly lead? In my mind Microsoft is only still competitive because it has had such great sustained momentum from its past growth. It really isn't pushing the envelope anywhere. It also managed to kill the most exciting product that we've seen from them in a very long time : The Courier.
I sold my stock a while back and this current rally seems like a swan song.
Are you an Xbox user? I know they take a big loss from that sector, but they have huge potential in that area. As one of the few devices that can run amazing games and feature growing amounts of non-gaming content, I think that will be very successful for them down the line.
Why buy other set top boxes if I can get all of their functionality plus amazing games at the same time?
I think quite the opposite. They're pushing the envelope nearly everywhere. But you don't make money by pushing the envelope. It's by finding what customers want to spend money on. The iPod wasn't pushing the envelope. But it was sexy.
Courier was sexy, but not realistic. I say Kinect is their most exciting product.

The Xbox has been generating a yearly profit since about 2008. Still a net loss since inception, but it is turning a profit now.
I am an xbox user. Sure, there is potential but I can't put weight into potential alone.

But isn't the kinect the Wii360?
There's no such as the Wii360. Can you restate your question more clearly?
