“Let” is that the wrong word. Microsoft was setup specifically to make BASIC for the Altair. DOS they stumbled into because CP/M dropped the ball. Every other product, they’ve been chasing new markets that they didn’t think of being in.

I’m critical about Xbox handheld/portable because it was so obvious that that’s where the demand would come from.

However, they’ve been better at monetizing their other software and services better than anyone else though.
