MSFT is in this business but not doing well. WBMD is well entrenched as #1 with both consumers and doctors with no real competition. They are slow but steady with conservative management. Stock is way down although still expensive so I cant comment on the price but its a good strategic fit. And of course, price is all relative when you have a Mt. Everest sized pile of cash as Ballmer does…
