Kewl. I see you eyeing that Pizza! ;-)
The trend is to merge OS functionality between tablets, phones, and laptops. MS and Apple are working in that direction too but it's been a convoluted rough road for MS.

Agreed, but isn't the desire to provide laptop functionality on tablets and phones - rather than the other way around?
I don't need a $999 laptop for use as a remote.
I believe you are right, but being old school I still much prefer my laptop for serious work. I feel 'confined' or 'constrained' when trying to do actual work on a tablet but many of the Apps are great.
if you're gonna use a $999 laptop as a remote control, why not use a water cooled z13 for playing Angry Birds. :)
M$ is waiting for Intel their partners in crime to get the mobile phone processors good enough for where you can dock your phone and have it a full fledged computer.
Start a new job, you get your cell phone, where you also dock it at your desk and it is now your computer :)
I know aint isn't a word, but M$ aint stupid.
No M$ ain't stupid but they've had a number missteps in the mobile phone market. Windows phones practically don't exist and their investment in Nokia was a waste.
"Gartner estimates that nearly 2.4 million Windows Phones were sold in the latest quarter, around 0.7 percent market share overall. That's a decrease from the 2.5 percent market share of Windows Phone back in Q1 2015. The drop in sales is primarily driven by Microsoft's lack of new Lumia devices."
I thought M$ acquired Nokia for the patents?
Interesting read, they like to fiddle in markets way before their time it seems.
