  I agree. Microsoft's desire/need to sustain Windows and Office has kept it from fully embracing the power of the Internet.

  Quoted: Blodgett is exactly right. As he argues, Microsoft is so focused on sustaining its massively successful core products – Windows and Office – that its approach to the Internet is inherently shackled. It has never fully embraced the dynamic power of the Internet to unleash transformative new business models. Instead, it has used the Internet in a sustaining fashion to supplement its core properties (Internet-based help for Microsoft Word, anyone?), while clinging to web 1.0 platforms like Hotmail.
