I personally advocate for Microsoft having that Productivity focus - a good way for Microsoft Partners to look at it - to try and achieve something along the lines of what is described in the above list - otherwise you need to re-evaluate!

BTW Microsoft is great if you already have an existing business, not so good if you want to start a business from scratch!
