One thing with which I have historically credited Microsoft is their willingness to listen to the community, and change their course when necessary.
Does this guy live in a parallel universe? Are we speaking about the same Microsoft? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

I think it was historically true but it ceased to be true somewhere around the Windows 8 timeframe. At that point, they began to lose contact with their customer base, even including their key corporate customer base from what I have been able to see.

Oh, and I just realised that Microsoft have announced this for operating systems that are still supported. Well, together with losing touch with what their real, actual customers want it seems that they have also lost the ability to remember and stick to long term published strategies.
