"I strongly question whether excellence is really a part of the Microsoft vision at all sometimes." is point that my be shared by many people. I wonder if Steve Ballmer's point is that excellence is now driving the vision??
Government can regulate access to social network websites in schools and librarys, which is the responsibility of the parent in the home. However, these sites are still accessible to minors through a number of other ways outside of school and the home. The challenge is to create a mechanism that supports trust and privacy in social networks and makes it very difficult, or unfeasible, for predators to take advantage of minors.
It famously takes Microsoft three iterations to get a product to a state of excellence... we're currently seeing the post initial iterations of Xbox (the 360), Microsoft Search, and Windows Media Centre, which are pretty compelling products. However, I would also note that some people may feel that Internet Explorer 6 is not at a stage of excellence!
