"...we need to integrate more blogging capability into the e-mail world--and as we do the next generation of Outlook, you'll see that. We need to integrate it more into our SharePoint, which is our collaboration Office platform, and then, as I discussed, MSN is embracing it so that instead of thinking about, "OK, I go to one community to do photos, one community to do social networking, one community to do this," we say, "Hey," off of Messenger, which has got your buddy list already, then, "Let's let you do the photos and the social networking and everything--but starting in an integrated way off of Messenger."

Just another illustration that Microsoft is in the innovation distribution business. Their strategy is almost always the same: capture ideas and integrate. The Wal-Mart of technology.

There's nothing to be ashamed about. The industry is just fine, the problem is that Microsoft is a T-Rex, no, a pack of T-Rexes, that dominates the food chain in the PC space. Now they are moving into media and communications.

If you know where you are going the transition should be relatively easy. In any case, just learn Chinese ASAP get your MBA and you'll be ok ;)
