Hello, author here. I should clarify that I don't think Windows itself is doomed--it isn't, not by a long shot.<p>I think Windows 10 will do well in mature markets where it's an established leader (desktop) and nascent markets where leaders have yet to be defined (hybrids, IoT, holograms).<p>Where Windows 10 will not do well is in mature markets where they're not an established leader (phones).
I like that MSFT appear to be attempting to reinvent responsive design for the native world ;)<p>It will be interesting to see how, if at all, this dovetails with their SmartGlass efforts as I can see some merit in a framework that makes it easier to split views with a shared model and controller across multiples screens/devices.
