I agree with the fact the the windows10/surface idea is the best for my use and purposes but... I would not call it a success, at least not commercially. The surfaces aren't selling so well atm, even after already 3 iterations.
Pretty sure that was the parent's point. But the short-term results may not be what is relevant. Plenty of good decisions were lambasted in the short-term because consumers aren't always the best judge of what will happen down the line. People overrate what will happen in 1 year and underrate what will happen in 5.
I wonder if parent didn't mean to add a /s that statement.
