Besides, it's not hard to see why OneCare was culled, considering that Symantec has got a firm grip on 70% of the internet security market. This seriously is journalism of the lowest quality.

But he just seems to hold in there. As suggested in the article above I can see Chris Liddell t(CFO) taking over the reigns & doing some big time streamlining / cutting loose unprofitable products/divisions. I see microsoft as a company in big trouble, perhaps even more so than the share price reflects. If the Google Android OS ends up on OEM PCs this year as rumors indicate, this will remove the base of what microsoft calls the "stack". If they lose fight for the underlying OS, the slipperly slope starts to get very steep. WIndows & office are the big revenue drivers for MS (50+%) but there are growing numbers of truely viable alternatives. I don't think the company is going to crumble overnight, but more of a polar bear like road to extinction. Just less & less enhabitable environment every year.
