This is a serious release for Microsoft since it might be the last significant desktop OS they put out. There might never be a Windows 9 for desktops. It might be strictly server or mobile at that point.
It's going to be harder to make any money when you're getting squeezed on one end by crazy low prices and a free OS like Android which could be a desktop OS with some hacking, while pressure from above is coming from OS X and iOS alternatives. There's no room for a $300 desktop OS any more. It's an anachronism.
