I'm not sure how things are going to work out for Windows 8 on mobile phones, but they are going to license Windows 8 to other vendors. If there is demand for a 4:3 tablet, another vendor will make it. Ditto when it comes down to the software, at least for the Surface Pro. (I'm not a fan of the restrictive marketplace for Metro software.) For consumers who want options, MS provides far more options than Apple. Same with Google: they provide far more options than Apple.
Now don't get me wrong. If you're okay with what Apple offers, then buy their products. Just don't expect everyone else to be. Some of us expect an open marketplace for hardware and software so that our individual needs can be addressed.

Consumers have yet to get the memo about touchscreens though. They're present everywhere now.

Got the memo. Just don't want to see my typing speed plummet to type on touch screen. Nor do I want to lose a huge chunk of the screen to the touch screen keyboard. And I definitely don't need the neck pain from the terrible ergonomics of looking down while typing. (Hey, some of us are touch typists!)
