Regarding the artticle, this sounds more like something that will sit alongside the current windows 10 that people are familiar with buying and managing, and will probably be a successful product, just not to regular consumers, think more business and enterprise consumers.
Windows mobile blows, and the surface has been a dismal failure in most markets.

XBOX One has a crappy GPU and the PS4 (let alone the PS4 Pro!) kills it in terms of performance. Sony also kills the Microsoft XBOX One both in sales, and game sales for the platform.

I highly doubt that Microsoft makes more money from its hardware sales than it does software - source please?
