Microsoft OS doesn't make money on consumer users the same way Apple OS doesn't. Microsoft failed to enter the hardware space because they are over encumbered with people that want their 9:30 to 4:30 and are not too worried about "competition". Half because Microsoft can't make good predictions and half - What else are you going to run windows applications on? Remove software patents and all of this is fixed tomorrow. Create real risk, create real competition.
