Great strategy, nothing new or visionary, but something tried and tested. Use your strength in one market to enter a new one. From my (much more modest) experience at Red Hat, I know this can work.

Plus, this will only apply for new "WinRT apps" and only to Windows 9 devices. So maybe it won't be 4 percent, but it will be 14 percent, at most, like what they have now in "computing devices" as market share.
