This is such a nonsense article. But within it there is grain of truth albeit very small.
Taking my circle, several of my family have migrated to iPad or android tablets from PC/laptop setups and are not looking back because iPad fulfills all there computing needs.
For me, my laptop recently passed away so I bought a nexus 7
to replace it, and you know what its brilliant for me.
I do obviously still have a development PC,
but for personal use its tablet all the way. So I think desktops and PC sales will suffer loss long term in the consumer market. So Microsoft do need a good product here, and they have a lot of catch up to do, but they have done it before!
The security blanket for Microsoft remains new innovation enterprise, business and maybe cloud. I think they have a long way to go to win back the consumer space.
