Not about me so dont make it personal. Its about simple math... MS did well when it was the only option out there and when the only competition was a couple of half arsed attempts to compete... sorry palm.
Apple came busting out of the gate and took over, followed by android who leap frogged on apple. Because of MS's continuing lag, complexity, bugginess they lost most of the market to apple and android and then finally after 2 Years of silence and after apple and android having dug in their claws deep to the bone, MS comes bursting into a room full of people announcing, "Here we are... offering you less than the other 2 but we're still alive and well... !!!! " Well, just like in a movie, the entire room kinda looked at them for a sec and then turned back to continue their own conversation...
At this point not many care cuz there is no WOW... there is only, well we gave you a bunch of stuff before, but no one knew how to use it so we're just gonna give you next to nothing and make it look like everyone else and blow off everything our MS supporters did use...
Really? You dont think that marketing, research and development strategy deserves a death knell? Apple and Android users arent coming back in droves...they're gone. Unless MS delivers something big, a good deal of MS supporters such as myself feel a bit betrayed that they did take a decent platform and massacre it. The only thing I take about this
personally is that I spent 5 years building up my software library only to be told F U we're not gonna run that software any more.
