Microsoft is burning the boats?

TechCrunch on Marc Andreessen’s advice to old media:

Despite trying time and again, Andreessen’s observation is that media companies have no aptitude for technology, nor do they really understand what technology companies do. The one thing technology companies do really well is deal with constant disruption. “Microsoft is going through this right now,” he points out, “Ballmer is not complaining about it.” He’s tackling it head on.

So … Microsoft burnt the Windows/Office boat and has hopped on to cloud computing completely?

Really?
