My concern as a businessman, is how smart is it for Microsoft to go all in as a competitor for the OEM companies they supply the OS for their laptops, tablets, and hybrids? Are they planning on also bringing out a desktop?

It is NEVER a good idea to compete with your customers. . . yet here they are competing with their customers!

I wonder if they are going to bring out a Microsoft labeled phone now. . . oh, wait, they tried that by buying Nokia. . . and more OEM's fled to Android, or started looking at designing their own phone OS, especially with Google making Google and selling Android Nexus phones under their name. . . again, a bad idea to compete with one's customers.

Got an email yesterday about Lumia 950 XL. Will be able to hook up to screen, keyboard, and mouse. Office will scale up. But I like the idea of a laptop, too.
