I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again; Windows Client != Microsoft. It is 
but 1 of 15 billion dollar businesses (up from 8 in 2010).

Eh? Microsoft brings in ~$20bn in revenue, and ~$6bn in profits every three 
months.[1] Surface Pro is a rounding error in the grand scheme of Microsoft’s 
overall portfolio of products.

I wonder who is doing all the research for the Surface Pro Marketing… a giant 
that can’t find its home any more!   I believe Microsoft needs to something 
quickly if it wants to stay a giant player ..except for business, devs etc no 
needs to buy  MS software anymore..everything is going web and Microsoft 
appears to be very bad in this area..they can’t even get IE to conform to the 
HTML standard..when I develop web apps….IE is always where the problems occur.

Initially MS ensured their IE had different HTML features so that we all 
developed to IE(as was normal) but now this has  ‘back fired’ on them!
