Windows' biggest asset is their software library, and it's turning out to be a giant anchor preventing them from innovating like they need to. If they could find an elegant solution that leveraged their legacy software library into a useful touch-based experience, they'd have a great shot at succeeding. It appears they took too long to move (iOS and Android both have large software libraries already), and aren't able to leverage their legacy software in a meaningful way. They've just strapped "legacy" support on top of Metro, and are only providing it for some hardware. It was possible to "do everything for everyone" in the PC world, when that just meant hiring more people to provide driver support. It's not possible now.
