Bill Gates would support an Xbox division sell-off

While Nadella was one topic of discussion, questions posed by university students during theFox Business interview revealed some of Gates’ thoughts on Microsoft spinning off its Bing and Xbox businesses. Investors have been calling for Microsoft to sell off Bing and Xbox over the years, but the company has been reluctant and has continued investing in both. “We’re thinking about, are there pieces that are separable,” admits Gates, while defending Microsoft’s Bing search efforts as a “fundamental technology” for the company. Gates is pushed on a potential Xbox sale during the interview, but he doesn’t defend Microsoft’s console hardware nearly as much as Bing.

Despite that, Gates says he’s “sure Satya and the team would look at that [selling off Xbox] and it’s up to them,” adding that he would “absolutely” support Microsoft’s new CEO if he chose to sell the Xbox division.

meh, all the story really says is that he's willing to support Nadella in his efforts to run Microsoft.
I'm tired of seeing headlines suggesting that Gates wants to nix Xbox.

I think this was part of the Sony loss thread that Stout started.
I will save him the time. This quote seems to be left out:

But Gates said he didn’t foresee either Bing, the company’s search engine division, or Xbox, its gaming division, as potential stand-alone companies because they are part of Microsoft’s long-term strategy.

Bing needs to die in a fire

Any "selloff" of Xbox would just be unloading the bad PR for a return to the market.

I mostly see "ghetto arse hood rats" bumping shitty rap music and talking shite to all the racist commenters. That is at least 80 percent of the Ustream channels.

See, I didn't want to go racist with it in fear of having my Xbox and PS4 rights taken away and be fined 2 dollars and 50 cents, since I need it to pay Klark Kent's girl for dat trickkkkkkk
OH GIRLFRIEND BURN BITCH. Thought I had forgotten about ya didn't you?

my girl's got a big heart, she probably gave you the trick for free when you told her you wanted to take her back to your trailer. ...

I accept your apology, and welcome you into my hall of friends.
You were a worthy adversary, and I shall count upon you for future internet battles.
