They need Surface and Windows phones to be a success.

No they don't.  This illustrates how little you know about Ms and its business. Surface is almost irrelevant.

Windows 8 will be successful, in both tablets and elsewhere, anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves with hope over reality. 

But their Enterprise operations and Office (and now office365) are the key products going forward.

They need it, pc industry is going down, Windows 8 isn't helping it gain traction, matter of fact its pointed out as one of the many causes the market is slowing down.  Android and iOS are the only notable mobile ecosystems out there.
