Another thought
Isn't it possible that MS strategy is partly motivated at protecting their cash cow, Windows and Office by preventing would be competitors from building their own cash cow that funds a competitive attack on Windows and Office?
Spend an additional $33M and keep PALM from ever having money to expand beyond their current market. If MS were not in this market, I have to belive PALM would well within the black and looking to move into new markets. The desktop market would be a good progression.
