the only problem with all of the fantastic devices which MS unveiled Tuesday, is that, they don’t come with an Apple logon on them. With the Apple logo, the Surface Book would sell 20 million in a quarter, the Surface Pro 4 would sell 25 million in a quarter, and the Lumia 950/950XL would sell 100 million in the first quarter. Apple would then go past the trillion dollar market cap which analysts have been expecting for years. (BTW, MS had actually reached the trillion dollar mark in the past, when taking inflation into consideration).

And the HoloLens demo would consist of watching Apple TV while you drive.

Oh, poop. The Microsoft Windows user base is arguably 20 TIMES the Apple OS X user base. There are 20 times as many potential customers for the great new Surface products as there are for MacBooks and iPads.

If these terrific new products fail to sell, it will be only because Microsoft STILL doesn't know how to market a product unless they already have a virtual monopoly (like the enterprise market).

I truly hope the Surface Book does well. I look forward to buying one when my beloved Fujitsu Lifebook eventually dies.

The problem isn’t the hardware it’s that it’s stifled with windows as its OS.
