So Microsoft doesn't make hardware, they provide the OS. They already have Windows for Tablets (for several years), and there are several manufactures making tablets for that platform (Panasonic, HP, Lenovo to name a few). And they already have an OS for phones - Windows Mobile, with several phones running that OS. I'm not sure what the news is here, other than they will have a new version soon, that will no doubt be just as buggy and "Windowsish" as the previous version, but will probably look more like Windows 7. Did I miss something?
