Your points are all very well taken. I certainly see the significance of many to a considerable market, but my guess is that would be a more 'professional' market. Just my view. Seems though that MS didn't have that same professional/business market in mind when they made their shift. Office Hub not withstanding. I personally find the requirements for the server side of Sharepoint extreme, and the implementation limiting (Mango final Beta and Office 365), and am not terribly impresed by the Office apps, comparing to Office in WM and SoftMaker. Even Exchange tasks aren't supported. So business Office/MS users are not well or widely served, IMHO.
Your last few words "an OS that fullfills the need of everybody," seems kind of a pipe dream, doesn't it? Even sort of heretical in our competition focused society.  Even if someone took the best of everything right now, it might sell, but they certainly would be sued.
