Yes, Windows has been commoditized, but Microsoft is not really suffering from it. Even though most users don't care about the OS, they still need one. In most cases, they go with Windows.
You can even say Microsoft won the battle by having everyone else compete on the web and leave Windows alone. Think about it - Microsoft gets $100+ in licensing fees from every PC user every 3-5 years. Add another $100 for that user's PC at work. How many web businesses can make the same statement?
