So it seems that MS has positioned itself well to take on "innovative" competitors in multiple markets, the main threat of course being Apple.
Why do I say this? Well let's look at their latest efforts:
MP3 Players: The ZuneHD is a wonderful device, and appears to be a worthy Ipod Touch competitor. Now all MS needs to do is release a 3rd Party SDK, and let developers enter the fray.
OS: Windows 7 has been getting glowing reviews on all fronts.
Windows Mobile: Still the number one Smartphone OS in the world. With the iPhone, Android, and WebOS threats, seems they have a renewed interest in maintaining their dominance, and have made great strides forward with WM 6.5, hopefully WM7 will be a bigger Step
Reading Tablet: What!

Bing: I am a avid google search user, but I have to say Bing works great. When I can't find what I need via Google, I find myself going to Bing and finding it!
I think this is a good sign of things to come. Perhaps innovation is the new king in MS.
