Killing Surface may be premature. As far as I can tell, Surface Pro 2 is currently out of stock basically everywhere.
Windows RT, I'd be happy to call that one pretty much dead anyway. Unless they can figure out a way to get full windows apps running on ARM devices, I don't see the point. Intel chips are going to improve in performance and battery life to the point where they are nearly comparable with ARM (or at least to a point where it matters). Then, the argument would be mute and we won't be making a decision between RT and Full Windows.
Bing, I'm not so sure. I actually quite like Bing, but I don't see where Microsoft is going to make a huge impact with it.
XBox, I can't believe they're loosing money on it, particularly after the huge success of the kinect. Either way, it's Microsoft's ticket into the livingroom.
