"The question is whether the changes Microsoft’s made to its products will translate into a better experience for the people it’s trying to reach. The Surface line, after all, hasn’t helped Microsoft crack the list of the world’s top-five tablet makers. It doesn’t have the reach of Apple’s laptops or Google’s Chromebooks.

But it is, he said, the responsibility of technology companies to think about how the products they make affect the lives of the people that buy them."
