"how can you hurt the Windows brand when the whole point of the product was to commoditize the hardware to bring the cost of the total solution - hardware + software - down in price? "
You answered your own question. The OEM's "ruthlessly cut the cost of production" too far and thereby damaged the PC brand.
This "ruthlessly" cutting of costs would have been survivable, however with Apple attacking from the flank with the iOS/app model, the PC makers were/are now in an even deeper hole.
