Why wait?
Quoting the conclusion, itself including a quote:

?Microsoft has a history of going after high-volume, low margin markets, and with SOA still a high-end, high-margin business, the company may simply be sitting and waiting for the commoditized market to materialize with the arrival of low-cost SOA-based tools and platforms.? From there, it moves up the food chain.

[End quote.]

So Microsoft is waiting with a (comparatively) low-cost solution for companies which have made the investment in Microsoft infrastructure. That makes SOA almost a bonus, a sales point for companies interested but inexperienced.

Try changing the perspective, from an anti-Microsoft [this allows escape] to a Microsoft-observing [SOA as feature] view, and the strategy makes more sense, for both the company and customers.

Microsoft is a mass market company, and this is a mass market which has a chance to appear. Perhaps helped rather than exploited by Microsoft.
