Given the massive, dominant install base of Windows, you'd of hoped for a better result after the first tablet friendly version was released.

Particularly the slashed OS price, and bundling of the previous cash cow, Office, in RT.

Agree it might take time to catch on, but these days that doesn't seem to be a truth either. Windows Phone looked like a sure winner to me a year ago - or, atleast, more than its current 1%.

Things are moving fast, and people have broadened their minds in the past 3 years of iPad exposure.

What MS needed was a product that took the iPad by the horns. Either that or released its Surface "compromise" (which it certainly is) 2 years ago.
