But we are strongly moving in a world in which the main "platform" for the common consumers are not more pcs, but tablet and (super)smartphones. Already this year will be sold more tablets than pcs.

Now they seriously risk to be stalled in step2 for a long time cause: 1 - no one is using winRT or willing to use it 2 - no one who is using win8 use mainly the metro ui or will to have a system in which that is the main ui 3 - for reason 1 and 2 the developers are not going to spend their time in making app for that ecosystem, preferring still win32 and the desktop/web functionalities or other os more strong in the tablet market (ios and android atm).
