It doesn't mean anything that other vendors are making Surface powered tablets. Just look at Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8. The same could be argued there, all the big guys made (and are still making) Windows Phones. And yet it is dead.
Think of it this way. MS is launching two tablets, the RT and the Pro. They have invested heavily in both, in marketing and otherwise.
And we already know the RT has failed and failed big time. It's the new Zune. No one wants it. So why on earth do you think that the delayed one of the two devices will somehow magically become a success?`When the market is heading towads $300 and $400 tablets you believe the $800 tablet will have any chance?

First bold: Lulz. Wut.
Windows Phone isn't dead; WP8 just launched today.
Second bold: Wishful thinking, methinks. I mean really: you seem to be under the impression that your opinion is fact.
Really, slimebeast, really?

Windows Phone is dead. It's been on the market for over a year and achieved nothing.
In the last quarter (July-September 2012) Nokia, the biggest Windows Phone vendor by far, sold a measly 2.9 million Windows Phones at an average selling price of $200.
Meanwhile Apple sold 27 million iPhones at $650 a piece. That's 30 times more revenue for iPhones than Nokia Windows Phones. And let's not even mention profit margins, because they are non-existent on Windows Phones.
And Android smartphones sold even more.
