His point was trying to measure OS market-share by checking desktop-only is no longer a valid approach. Even big players like Microsoft are forced to offer their software and services on non-Windows platforms (like mobile and tablets!) if they want to remain relevant. So counting desktop only paints a false picture, wrt where users are and where computing is happening. And that last bit is what is relevant from a Intel POV. An increasing amount of compute is now done outside the Intel-chip arena of desktops, like it used to be before.
