You’re welcome to disagree; I’ve been wrong before and will be again. But it’s worth noting that being a first mover in emerging industries and/or buying a first mover while they’re small, fledgling, and inexpensive is incorporated into the business strategies of most tech monopolies; Microsoft included. This is evidenced by their R&D and further scientific expenditures along with their acquisitions teams. Also, just because Microsoft has had shaky success in this regard (but some definite wins) doesn’t mean that they aren’t trying or that it isn’t a guiding aspiration for them.
