I cant read the entire article yet, but a couple of errors have already jumped out. To state that Microsoft is leading in innovation is grossly overstating their accomplishments. The list of innovations he cites doesn't truly consist of such; most of those products were either revisions to product lines or answers to competitors. Neither bring anything revolutionary to the market. The only thing innovative Microsoft has released that comes to mind is the Kinect. He's getting excited about a kickstand? Really? The keyboards are cool, but to include a trackpad on devices that are supposed to focus on touch as their primary means of input seems strange. At any rate I'd wager it won't be long before you see something similar for both Android and iOS devices. Secondly, their tablets won't be completely compatible with each other, much less the rest of the product line. ARM and x86 processors don't mix. To be honest, I expect Windows 8 phones and tablets to have at least mild success- there are too many people that don't want Apple products, and Android has had a hard time living up to its potential (especially in tablets). The desktop version still looks like a hot mess to me though.
