What part of what he said did you fail to understand?
The "They aren't freaking out. They aren't in trouble." - part. When a major corporation backtracks like this, that's them freaking out.
A rumour is that users will be able to boot straight to the desktop rather than the Start Screen. This is not currently possible in Windows 8. We'll have to wait and see if this tips up.
I think he was referring to their financial situation and how insignificant XBox (add BING to that as well) is too their profits. Their bread n' butter is MS Office, Server & Tools and Windows.

We can disagree on the failures of Windows back and forth all day, but a respected person such as yourself shouldn't try to lump in anything cpauser says as logic since he's been know to say stupid things within a majority of his past comments, like the freaking out comment.
As far as Window's contined failures, needing a 3rd party plugin to en-able the start menu, or make the thing work successfully - well wouldn't it make sense to just be able to disable "metro" or whatever it is called in the control panel? Why make customers jump through hoops to force an experience? Surely they've heard the feedback of this by now.

It's like the GAP trying to roll out a new logo. It failed horrifically and they went back to the old one based on their customer's feedback.
I want to agree that getting rid of the start menu and forcing people to use the "metro" interface was poorly thought out and that they should have been given the choice (or has been suggested here before, at least given better instructions), but I don't think it's that difficult to cope with the change. You can't make changes in how people behave if you just let them fall back to what they are used to. How are you ever going to evolve that way?
I think people have made it into a much bigger issue than it really is. It's just a big bandwagon freakout that never needed to happen. It takes like 10 minutes to familiarize yourself with the differences, and where to find things. Not much different from OS9 users coping with the changes in OSX, which were many IIRC.
