They don't need to have a big blockbuster product launch or worry about taking Apple down. With how hard they dominate almost every aspect of corporate IT they can easily afford to just keep chipping away at the domestic market, which is what they're doing. Seeing a Surface used to be a rare sight, then they became quite common in many office settings, and now they're becoming common to see as personal devices
With how good Windows 10 is and the massive adoption rate it has, I bet this is where they really start to gain ground on Apple. Much like Google did when Android hit 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and leaped ahead of iOS in functionality and usability
