While some critics may chide Microsoft for losing focus over its desire to play in many markets, from desktop software to game consoles to mobile devices, the company's top guy says it's a necessary move to stay relevant in the market.

Kawasaki kicked off the discussion by asking Ballmer: "Why do you want to buy Yahoo? What's the deal with that?"
