A little breathless, perhaps. But this appears to be a reasonable assessment of the situation Microsoft faces with Windows 10.
This is hardly the first time Microsoft has gone out bigtime for a launch... y'all remember this one, right?

I wasn’t there for XP but I was there for Win-95.

I’m never t so sure the PC business is dead but perhaps Microsofts role in it given 3 of the last 4 OSes suck.

The Surface line is outstanding. Much better than anything out there.

The SSDs, the combo touch-type, etc. Can’t go back to anything else. Been salivating over a Surface Book but will wait to see what the new thing is.

MS has ignored the fact that many users use PCs for productivity and not the glitz and glitter of mobile and tablet connections.
MS is ignoring a large segment of PC users — those who have significant reasons for still using XP and Win7, for example.

I actually started productivity with Windows 3.0, after using a couple of other OS’s that went by the wayside.
I did play around some with Win 1.0 and 2.0. They seemed to be just glorified menuing systems and too proprietary.

Before windows 95 windows 1, 2 and 3 were just gui shells overlaying the dos o/s.

Had a surface rt. Was really nice till ghost touching started after updates. Nokia didn’t allow Verizon to replace it under warranty and then sold to Microsoft and MS blew me off. I sent it in three times. No more surface for me.

I recall being in Vegas for whatever that big electronics show was, and the "Bob" tow signs being flown around by planes.
I do not and will not "do" touch. I use my PX with the minitors 3+ feet away.
What a klutz company, now trying to boost 10 up by coercing users that do not do "touch" crap?

I was there for the Win95 launch. I had just gone from a vendor (consultant) badge to a blue badge. Found myself on a company hired bus with a box lunch in my lap and on the way to Tacoma Dome for the big whoop de do.
