Microsoft is trying to come to the party three days late. They are losing DirectX in favor of OpenGL, now trying to make a tablet (what an innovation). There are enough products on the market right now. Microsoft would be better served by perfecting their product for a change. Each version of windows has been the "perfected" version of three iterations old. Problem with what you are saying is that Microsoft doesn't want to play "in" the market, they want to own it. I don't think that is possible anymore. Too many other products and strategies. the market that the surface works for is the same that now use tablets like iPad, Android, etc. three years ago, this would have been innovative, today, it is honestly Sad.
