And yet, somehow, Spong neglects to mention Elop is the guy that thought selling off the division was a great idea? Is this not germane to the story? Does Spong even know he said this? Good God...I weep for 'journalism'...

Oh stop the weeping. Of course we ran a story on someone at Bloomberg quoting unnamed 'people' saying that if he was made CEO then Elop: "Besides emphasizing Office, Elop would be prepared to sell or shut down major businesses to sharpen the company’s focus, the people said.
"He would consider ending Microsoft’s costly effort to take on Google with its Bing search engine, and would also consider selling healthy businesses such as the Xbox game console if he determined they weren’t critical to the company’s strategy, the people said."
To assuage your tears I've also added our old story about someone telling someone else that if made CEO, Elop might do something... to this story.
Cheer up.
PS: Selling off Xbox is not the same as selling off the division. The Division has a much wider remit... http://www.microsoft.com/investor/CompanyInfo/SegmentInfo/Overview.aspx
