MS did exactly the same thing with the xbox, went off and brought off a bunch of developers, if it was a desperate move it was one that seem to work. Nokia is a respectable handset maker, they have produced some solid phones (that lacked in the software department), WM7 is not so bad, think of it like windows XP which eventually gave way to windows 7, WM7 will follow suit
15 years in the industry and you didn't think MS bundling a half baked web browser with the win95 plus pack before tying it directly to the OS itself to ensure that user had to use it as desperate, how about the resultant development of ActiveX maybe
MS at least do have a cloud strategy now (and i have to say pretty comprehensive too), they just dont have a strong presences in the low power mobile segment, but i would hazard that they are far from desperate, MS will only fail if they stop developing the platform, otherwise just like windows, WM 7 will evolve over time too, after all IE was abysmal but it still went on to take over 80% of the market share in it's prime (not that you can call anything about IE prime...)
but i'll agree with you on one point, Balmer is an Idiot
