I'm not a big M$ fan, but you have to admire how they keep slogging money at something until it turns a profit. They could've walked away from Office ( it's great now, the MS Dos version in 1990 sucked) , Xbox, Cloud... I'm sure there are ones I'm forgetting. Once they decide to push a project.. they just keep on plowing money into it!

Microsoft buy Mixer. Adds a "Share to Mixer" button on the Xbox controllers... Just in time to shut down Mixer.
No, M$ isn't innocent, or lacking the ability to just can things outright for no reason.
In fact, M$ is quite the opposite. WinFS? Photosynth? Microsoft cans products before they even make it to market, so nobody even knows.
