Microsoft's devices head: We won't have three Windows versions in the future

Neowin[^]:

At the moment, Microsoft has three operating systems for consumers to use in their hardware devices: Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1 and Windows Phone 8. But what happens in the future?

One sealed box with limited capabilities per customer, one scaled down operating system is the future that MS and other two want to impose on us for many reasons. They will own computer centers and internet backbone and push the content in the form of interactive TV. If the other 5% of users want real computer with real operating system then they have to pay a lot for it. And this is happening when for a price of a tablet I have supercomputer now (CPU + GPU). Why ideas of centralized computing are happening now?
