Comments from a very select few who don't reflect the mass market.

selnor, you are trying your best at hyping this device but 6 months from now no one here on VGC will be talking about it because it's declared dead by then with less than 5% marketshare.

Windows 8 tablets in general will be huge.  Do you realize that 85% of the market for computers is 85% windows?  They are expecting 400 million Windows 8 computers to be sold next year so Windows 8 will be very recognized on tablets, phones, and computers.  In fact I bet you are using a Windows product right now?

Microsoft has been selling hundreds of millions of operating systems every year since the freaking 80's so even an ape knows they will do so in 2013 as well. But did that make the original Xbox successful, or Zune successful or Windows Phone successful?

Yes of course I am using Windows since I am forced to since that's the only option if you want PC gaming.

But what happens when people have the choice to choose something else than Microsoft? They choose something else.

You are wrong on multiple accounts.  

1.  XBOX, Zune, and Windows phones are not using windows.  Windows 8 phones will have a little more in common with Windows 8 so this should help Windows phones because then it will be a recognizable product.  

2.  Ever heard of MAC and Linux?  People already have alternate choices.  They just don't do it as well as Windows.  As long as Windows has Microsoft Office and the name Microsoft Windows then it will always be the market leader unless something completely revolutionary comes out.  Windows has been around far too long to just fall off the market.  And if anybody makes something revolutionary in th OS market, my bet would be on Microsoft.
