No, not at all. i just recognise that i have a need for both a mobile AND desktop/laptop device, and that whilst there are similarities in what i do with both, they can be mutually exclusive without inhibiting my lifestyle.

Don't get me wrong. From pure market penetration (on the desktop front), MS are in a unique position to capture (or should i say enhance) the convergence of mobile and desktop user experiences, but for most existing devices, connectivity is only a download away, and applications like Samsung's Kies Air, make that integration even easier, as all you need is wifi and a web browser.
In many ways, most mobile hardware vendors have actually managed to get the jump on MS by riding on their back, and the problem for MS is that these companies, with knowledge, experience and existing market share, won't be standing still.
this is a part of MS's problem, they assume a level of success in the future, based on what their competition is doing now.

edit: cool. just hit 300 posts. now I can start thread spamming with tags......
