Finally an intelligent business decision...
I have to say, intelligent business decisions have been few and far between lately. As I've preached time and time again, no company can be everything to everybody. Not even a company with billions and billions of dollars of cash on hand. Microsoft has been trying to elbow their way into every single software vertical market there is, and even create a few new ones along the way. Apparently somebody realized that enough was enough and pulled the plug on something. Microsoft has a lot more plugs that need to be pulled before they'll regain status as a company with anything resembling focus, but this is a start.
