At least looking at the stores, they seem to be making a come back at least in what concerns tablets/hybrid laptops.
Hybrid tablets have killed the netbooks and the majority of people are going for 2GB/4GB + 32/64 eMMC hybrids with Windows 10, and not to those Android ones that kind of look like a desktop. For most pockets across the world, an iPad Pro isn't an option.
The whole thing with .NET, Longhorn, Windows 7 and 10, was also a causality of the typical Windows Dev vs DevTools "wars" and most of us that follow MSFT blogs and news, know to which side Sinofsky was sponsoring.
Somehow UWP seems to be what .NET and eventually Longhorn should have been all along, lets see how it goes.
