Microsoft's ecosystem is a credible threat to Apple with the standards set by Windows 8 and Surface. Apple will have to show that it can respond meaningfully before investors get overconfident again.

Look at all the new Windows tablets, laptops, and phones and you'll see Surface in them. This was the unspoken theme of that launch event where you saw variations on Surface from many different manufacturers.

And HP, the biggest OEM seems pretty dismissive of the idea of Microsoft eating their lunch: http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/15/hps-todd-bradley-doesnt-see-surface-as-competition/ http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/15/hps-todd-bradley-doesnt-s...
