Two thoughts come to mind:
1) If Microsoft is already/still at ~90%, is there really room for a big time come back? Getting the rest of the market is small potatoes compared to what they already have.
2) How much of the market does desktop represent, anyway? Most people I know do not own a desktop. They may have a laptop, but they may also only have a tablet and/or phone.
Now, I believe you are actually suggesting that Microsoft can leverage their desktop market to get back into tablets and phones, but I don't know . . . so far, their efforts have been disappointing, and frankly, people are used to their Android devices, so Microsoft will actually be the weird phone even if it is the normal desktop.

- michaelmrose 10y agoDesktop is synonymous with laptop/desktop machine in fact it is actually difficult to separate the two. I think this is the case here.

- pjmlp 10y agoHere in Germany most consumer store chains have replaced hybrid Android tablets and netbooks with Windows 10 versions. Many of those devices do allow for a SIM card as well.
- mistermann 10y agoEh? Are you saying they don't sell Android tablets anymore, but only Windows tablets?
- herbst 10y agoNot sure what he said. But this is definitly not true. It is still a small minority of the devices that runs Windows
- pjmlp 10y agoThen check online at Conrad, Saturn or Media Market, in Germany, what type of netbooks or hybrid tablets are being sold.
- coldtea 10y agoNot sure what you mean. The topsellers here for example, the top-5 are all Android, and the rest mostly Android: http://www.saturn.de/de/category/_tablets-252064.html?searchParams=&sort=&view=&page= http://www.saturn.de/de/category/_tablets-252064.html?search...
- pjmlp 10y agoWell, this is the 2nd most sold device right after Apple's iPad. TREKSTOR SurfTab duo W1 Volks-Tablet WiFi, Convertible mit 10.1 Zoll, 32 GB Speicher, 2 GB RAM, Windows 10, Schwarz
- coldtea 10y agoNot sure what's going on, but when I opened the page, and set to topseller ranking, the first items were all android.
- pjmlp 10y agoCheck Media Market, Saturn, Conrad online stores for netbooks and hybrid tablets and see which ones are being sold.
