Whatever is left of the world after 2012, the solar flares coming in 2013 that will knock out most electronics and communications will make things like this less seem less important.

Microsoft certainly does try to shake up Desktop UI design more than most companies. Often times their efforts are met with resistance (eg. the Ribbon of Office 2007, which I think is a good improvement). More often they conjure up all these great ideas and never actually manage to release them in finished products (eg. WinFS, MS Surface, Courier).
 
I'd give it five minutes before one of the kids drew a cock on the touchscreen wall and it transformed into a giant penis as big as your head spouting semen with the word "PENIS" in multiple languages surrounding it.

Microsoft's problem isn't that they don't have smart people - it's that whatever ideas and vision those smart people have, they end up getting sliced and diced to death by a thousand middle managers, and they end up with mediocre products. Yay.

only zuckerman was a worse speaker, and that kid is 26.
