If MS didn't then they would be lambasted just the same.

As it stands, at least MSFT has a presence which entails at least strategic advantage. Not trying would be worse than trying and failing.

But it doesn't matter - they're not a search company, it's such a different beast. Why on earth do people expect that MSFT should have been the king of that domain I have no idea.
