With Cortana integrated in Win10 the door is open for custom Windows solutions working off even sub-$100 Wintabs. Home security integrators are going to make a killing.

I haven't written them off, but they have missed some opportunities. Imagine if they had given away Windows mobile OS several years ago to OEMs. Where would they be right now in the mobile space? I think they made up ground with Office Online and Onedrive, and they are certainly trying with Bing. We need competition so I hope can bring it with more tech. They should get with Intel & other OEMs and release a Cortana version like Echo.
