Microsoft still longs to be a 'lifestyle' brand, but the cupboard looks bare

And what's "lifestyle" anyway?

For many it will be social network and web-browsing. That's on the phone and they lost that one. Add in streaming media and gaming. After that you get into a lot of individual interests which don't fit well with a megacorp's way of doing things. What they probably mean by "lifestyle" in Redmond is "consumers watching adverts".
