Oh well, why would you care about long-term strategy if your only intent is just to short sell those MSFT shares quickly.
It's a link-bait. If GOOG can give away almost everything for free to distract their competitors and protect their core revenue (search and ads), then why shouldn't MSFT lose some $$ to get some share of the $40 Billion industry with a projected growth rate of around 10-20%.
