I don't think it will have much impact at all. It certainly isn't going to expedite the already languishing release date for the next OS. It also means that they aren't going to be going nimble, by building and releasing micro projects since focus will be on enterprise development and will fit into major release only mode. They would be better off releasing the division to fend for itself so it could better deal with the competition out there, because as it stands now, they haven't the competition at all and continue to languish in the dust of others. I am seriously disappointed with how this has worked out, as my motto has been, if Microsoft is in the game, then play Microsoft because they will win out and you will have the top dog technology. My motto has failed recently, as they have been falling behind in all sorts of technology edges that they chose to play in. So if you aren't going to be the best, why be in the game at all? Can you tell I'm frustrated?
