Microsoft windows will become like "the dog that wanted to eat both cakes" (local lingo), they want to eat into the new smartphone and tablet OS cake while at the same time keeping the desktop/laptop OS market. In a few years they will have none, having lost to Android/iOS on one side and to ubuntu/OSX on the other. Mark my words, we will have Windows 9 in a year time to try to cover for the Windows 8 fiasco an Windows X a year later to cover for both of them (since the new windows strategy i releasing a new operative system instead of service packs).
