"TiVo senior vice president Brodie Keast acknowledges that "The PC has won as the center of digital content."

He should be sacked.  What is the point in competing if you're going to act like you've failed before you even start.

There have been huge dominating companies in the past.  It doesn't mean they can't be competed against and defeated.

Windows has a long way to go before it can claim the title of "the centre of digital content", and I don't think it'll ever get there now because MS refuses to build a new product from the ground up, or at least do some major re-working of its products to lose the useless legacy infrastructure which only serves to complicate matters for average users.
