Although Microsoft Corp. has much of the business world wrapped around at least some of its software, the largest software company in the world is mostly known for its consumer products. Names like Windows, Zune, Windows Mobile, Sidekick, and Xbox are household terms (well, in gadget households perhaps).
Still, with all those names, why hasn’t Microsoft formed some kind of overall consumer ecosystem so that all these products fit, work, and play together seamlessly?
Good question.
