 In fairness Microsoft follows the same path for things they do own.
Silverlight anyone?
 

I always looked at Silverlight as a temporary technology until HTML5 was implemented. Microsoft did say that Silverlight was always a limited run technology when people started asking about where Silverlight would fit into the HTML5 era. So I don't think it was as much EEE as it was, just something to keep people busy until HTML5.
