I don't know why you need to reconcile them.

Should MS reconcile the XBox with the PC?

I think because the overlap between the usage of a tablet and a PC is so great, people think there should be some sort of convergence.

So long as everything uses the same methods of communication, file formats, protocols etc everything will be ok.

For most people, software is also solved. Everything is a web app. So what's really missing?

Uhh. We have. A while ago. The Xbox One ran Windows 8 until IIRC last year when it got upgraded to Windows 10. UWP apps are just that, universal across PCs, phones, Xbox One and HoloLens.

That's not really what I meant.

You don't buy an Xbox and then write essays or do your taxes on it do you?

You play games and maybe watch some movies. Doesn't matter that Excel will launch.
