Embrace. Extend. Extinguish. I'm loving the new (old) Microsoft.

Can't wait for the articles about how MS is integrating Skype into Exchange & WP7, and providing enterprises with subsidized Nokia kit.

At least this time around they're trying to extinguish companies that aren't innovating and actually standing in the way of further progress.

I'm a little lost on your comment. If Microsoft is embracing and extending mobile phone technology (and the carriers that provide them), how would they ever go about extinguishing something as entrenched as this?
