Microsoft Girds Itself For Windows 8 Battle And Beyond | TechCrunch

The next year will show Microsoft positioning itself for major product synthesis. The post-PC era isn’t here, as some people are fond of suggesting, but it is coming, and Microsoft wants to guarantee itself a part in it. Not an easy task for the company that pioneered the PC era. They almost seem obsolete by definition — but the straitlaced Microsoft has been loosening up ever since Vista, and they might just have learned enough to ride this next wave without washing out.

Microsoft cannot make any missteps in order for this strategy to work. They are behind the 8-ball but they still have a chance to make an impact.
