Buying Palm would be a catastrophy for both Microsoft and Palm, unless it was buy & destroy.

There are several issues why Palm is a bad technology for Microsoft, here a few:

- Not very MS-like, doesn't fit into MS strategies.
- Low CPU speed means little room for extra features, which is needed when doing Microsoft-like marketing.
- Low replacement rate compared to what Microsoft would like to see.
