Is more what he sounds like. Also, quoting disparate statistics is misleading as well. 7 million iPads is, firstly, an underestimation as is the 58 million netbooks an overestimation. Where are the 9 million Macs if you're going to throw out the total PC's projected? Are the included in that number? And what about the iDevices running iOS? Last I heard there were about 100 million of those out there.
Certainly Microsoft isn't in any danger of extinction. They remain a monopoly in the commodities computer market. They have seen their share of the 'smart phone' market nearly vanish under the onslaught of the iPhone, Android, and RIM though. They are coming a day late to that prom, but I hope they gain some market share again. Competition is good. But it is indeed whistling past the graveyard for a Microsoft exec to toss 'reality' onto a competitor who has such a paltry market share. Isn't it?
