[running a cable company is so far from Microsoft's core strength that I doubt they'd want to even try it]

Exactly. MSFT doesn't want to run these companies. They do want to invest the cash reserves in growth technology, especially "bandwidth for the masses" services. They do want an insider's seat to how these companies work and what problems they are encountering so they can build and sell them appropriate software solutions.
