I suspect he meant that the majority of laptops have "widescreen" displays. I think we all knew what his point was, and there was no need to be pedantic.

Sometimes Microsoft just makes the wrong bet. Also related to TV, it
raised a fuss about the 16:9 display format as a standard to replace
4:3, back in the mid 1990s. And yet, the majority of notebooks you see
for sale these days appear to have 16:9 displays to me.

(IMO, both were predictable. The success of BD, assuming any one would
succeed, and the popularity of 16:9 displays even for PCs.)
