It seems that they are there mostly for existing customers. Microsoft has several products in the eLearning space none of which can be described as a learning management system. With the exception of Live Meeting, they seem to hide them well.  Live Meeting http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010909711033.aspx A web conferencing/virtual classroom tool. Formerly PlaceWare.
