Microsoft business was never meant to convince: it's either forcing their way in by bully OEMs in doing what they want, and make sure Linux isn't an option, like in the ACPI case, or buy successful companies that elude their direct control (or simply buy companies that already won the battle they are fighting, like their desperate attempt to make a success "Microsoft Game Studio" and instead resort to buy Bethesda, Activision etc.)
