Re: "Final push"
The long temr problem for Slurp is consumption devices better fit what most routinely use their devices for. At most are surfing, emailing, looking at cat pictures, etc. not creating the "Great American Novel" or anything else that needs a powerful desktop or laptop. So the home desktop is only occasionally useful as a desktop. Consumption devices need apps and a standards compliant browser and not much else.
Slurp rightly fears the shift away from desktops in the home market. The major problem is users get used to something else that is not Winbloat. Once they find they can often not use Winbloat the mystic is broken. With time they are more apt to use devices that mirror their needs whatever the underlying OS. Also, subscription services (Office 365, etc) are almost always OS agnostic so the need for Winbloat is again minimized.
