> We are talking about laptops. Not tablets.

I'd argue that the deficiencies in Windows as a laptop OS has led to some people choosing iPads and the like when they would've chosen a Windows laptop.

Obviously, a tablet and a laptop have divergent usecases, but there's some overlap. And for those consumers that exist in the overlap, I think many (maybe most?) would rather choose an iPad.

Microsoft kind of saw the writing on the walls with this and that's how we got the whole Windows 8 fiasco.
