They don't think acquisitions will fix their security problems. They're a hell of a lot smarter and more cynical than that. They see the purchases as cheap PR that will convince pointy-haired bosses that MS is doing something productive. Buying a company with clued programmers costs more - when the purpose of buying the company is so you can issue a press release that you've just bought The Latest Rad Snake Oil Solution, you want to pay as little as possible per barrel of oil....
