MS needs to set aside its greed long enough to see what's happening all around it.

Agreed. Their greed is clouding their mind regarding a lot of things.

Otherwise I see MS going the way of GM, down, down, down...

I don't think so but its profit would certainly strongly go down if its keeps being so greedy.

I was astonished when I discovered that MS provided no virtual machine in Vista Home Premium, ame with Win 7 home premium.

Well that is indeed stupid that Windows 7 Home Premium doesn't have at least the equivalent of XP Mode for Home Premium. However Home Premium is not exactly aimed at people requiring virtualization.Moreover XP Mode is not what i would called an easy and really transparent way to achieve backward compatibility.
