Okay here is what I see coming in future years that has got my attention to Windows platform:
I will have a PC, a Gaming device, maybe a tablet, a smartphone, a smart watch, a car.
Now I can have:
Windows, PlayStation, iOS, Android, iOS, Android, iOS
or
Windows, XBOX, iOS, iOS, iOS, iOS, iOS
or
Windows,PlayStation, Android, Android, Android, Android, Android
or
just Windows for everything with XBOX.
(sorry, but my PC will always run on Windows, unless Microsoft names it Chrome OS or Mac because I cannot leave gaming behind)
So here is the thing, in most cases, I will have to spend money on apps on at least two platforms for the same app, in many apps I will have to rigorously sync my settings or other features, I will have to use a particular device to play a particular game, also will have to install some cloud syncing apps to sync my files and photos which may not be supported on one or more devices (PlayStation).
OR
I can just opt for Windows as my platform of choice, install an app on my phone, open in in my PC, pause a game in my XBOX, continue it in my tablet, tell Cortana I want to visit my grandma, and my car's GPS is set, capture a photo with 1020 and see is in all devices via One Drive.
Now you tell me which is better? Which ecosystem has the best chance to answer Windows threat? Apple? I don't see their gaming device nor their Macs catching up to PCs, Google? same problem. I know Windows is far from that reality but its already half way there when other ecosystems are only half complete! It will take them ages just to reach a point where I would say they are complete.
In another view, I really want to see an iPhone with larger screen and not with rows upon rows of icons which can go for Android too, but Android needs to start with showing me something that doesn't lags!
