Could A Folding Tablet Make Microsoft Dominate Apple…Again?

Apple's PC was "better"...but Microsoft still dominated the market.

As small form-factor computing platforms (tablets/smartphones) become more powerful, they will eventually be in position to disrupt high-performance computing platforms (netbooks/notebooks/PCs).

Since the cloud lets you push high-performance tasks off the physical platform, the dominance of the Windows OS for businesses is a moat to disruption from new technologies.

This may mean that if Microsoft gets Windows 8/9 right, and small form-factor computing platforms manage to more fully converge and disrupt existing high-performance computing platforms (netbooks/notebooks/PCs), Microsoft could again dominate Apple.
