Nobody sane could predict a true sales flop, but contributing to blur the line between PCs and non PC portable devices, MS could be inadvertently opening a backdoor that could take it to lose the near-monopoly in the traditional PC market.
But it could even be worth it if Windows will grow overalll this way, so maybe MS is doing it on purpose and betting on re-opening the old PC market, at cost of losing a monopoly, rather than risking the marginalization of the old market, keeping it closed while a huger new world grows outside of it, that would make that monopoly less and less important.
