I didn't say I thought MS was building products no-one wants. My original suggestion was that their current strategy seems to be pushing towards big, enterprise-scale customers and the low-end home user market, at the expense of the middle ground, and that time would tell whether this was working out well for them.

Clearly they have had some missteps with their OS strategy before -- there's plenty of evidence around about the poor reception and low adoption rates -- so I still don't understand what point you're trying to make here or how anything I've written is at all controversial. Your original reply suggested that they might consider driving a large group of customers away to be beneficial, but it's hard to see how that would be the case here, and you don't seem to have offered any further argument to support your position.
