Want a little cheese with that WHINE?

Microsoft has a standard way of "doing business". Watch what others are doing, wait to see what is interesting/useful/successful, copy that and find a way to get their foot in the door, then use their size and weight to stomp the life out of any and all other competitors until they are either out of business, or at least out of that market. This time, at least so far, the plan isn't working so they are desperately looking for someone to blame.
