Answer 1

A little Microsoft last years history:
Microsoft en general has good operatings systems in all segments, good office and server products, before year 2010.
The best OS that Microsoft never ended is Longhorn:

Microsoft be the first on a good mobile OS: Windows Mobile. In lastest versions of Windows Mobile, i can sync all my Exchange items, including tasks and notes. Its has a good interface with a menu, a desktop with shortcuts and more. Every new version improve
visuals with more effects, gradients, transparencies and more. Windows Mobile are far years old than iOS or Android.
But since year 2010, Microsoft presents Windows Phone, with and ugly user interface, with less visuals, no desktop, no notifications, no apps, no app compatibility with Windows Mobile and only sync Contacts and Email. No calendar, tasks, notes. Also the
simplicity of the Mail app makes it unuseable.
Now, in 2014, Windows Phone can sync Calendar, but no Tasks or Notes. Less than in Windows Mobile.
Android is new for year 2009 and mimics desktop OS's and Windows Mobile with a desktop and gadgets. In every new version of Android i see a lot of improvements and new features. I also sync Exchange tasks and with another app, Exchange Notes. Android continues
to mimic desktop OS's now featuring Windows on a mobile OS, but Microsoft is removing desktop features in order to a limited Metro ugly interface.
Windows Mobile had a 30% market share and Windows Phone has a 2,5% of market share.
With this bad and ugly OS, Microsoft completity destroys Nokia.
With this bad reputation of an ugly and unuseable OS, Microsoft decide to put all this ugly OS to the Windows Desktop OS, with less features than older Windows OS versions,
obtaining no more than 10% of market share, compared to the more than 50% of Windows 7 and the more than 20% of Windows XP.
Also Microsoft remove features in every new version of every Microsoft product except in SQL Server.
Microsoft Office removed crucial features and shows an ugly UI with ugly icons. For example, Office 2013 shows me less emails on screen than Office 2010. Also the lack of constrast and the lack of ClearType make it difficult to read.
The UI and icons in Visual Studio with the ridicolous ALL CAPS menu are higly
criticized by the developer community forcing Microsoft to change visuals, new icons and a Visual Studio 10 Theme. But continues flat, ugly and with less features than previous versions.
Exchange removes the Exchange Management Console and Exchange Control Panel for an ugly web interface. More functions and commands need to do now by the Exchange Powershell cmdlet commands instead of a Visual GUI interface.
With this bad numbers and reputacion, Microsoft also puts these ugly OS on the new XBox One, a cloud console developed for a
house living room to show TV, movies, listen music and play games. Initially forced to always connected to Internet, Microsoft was forced to remove that and the kinect due to the poor reception of a console not developed to power games users and
with insuffient power for actual games. Actual sales data compared to Playstation4 shows a bad and dead product like Nokia Phones.
And now, close to year 2015, with all this bad reputation and numbers, Microsoft still continues to force to an ugly, flat and simple OS with apps and cloud. I never use cloud or put my private data on the cloud.
With even more reason never put my company or work data on the cloud.
I do not trust the cloud, and even less
trust in Microsoft. Ads like Scroogled,
make me gain more confidence in Google
and lose even more confidence in Microsoft,
because you need to attack the competition rather than
focus on developing good products.
Instead i got at least the same features on a new OS, i never upgrade.
Less appearance settings. No advanced appearance settings like in Windows 7. No Aero. No Themes. No Customizations options. Only flat and ugly design, with bad and heavy colors that makes eye strained and lack of constrast between areas on the Window of
an application (see Office 2013).
Less Protect System options. No Shadow Copies or Prevoius Versions. File History is unusefull.
Less Network options. No Network map. Less Wi-Fi features. No Bluetooth File sharing.
No desktop games.
General ugly UI without options. I dont like FLAT.
Why change Windows 7 with an OS with less features like Windows 8.x and 10?
The only new is:
Ugly Metro/Modern UI does nobody wants and solicitated this.
Simple apps with ADS that are practically unusefull on desktop PC and more on enterprise.
Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own private data on the cloud?
Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own company private data on the cloud?
Nobody wants to create a Microsoft Account or use a Store of Simple apps with ADS. Nobody solicitated this but Microsoft wahts to makes money.
Seeing the little progress
and development of new features including
new versions, as
Windows Phone 7 to Windows
Phone 8, Windows
8 to 8.1 and 10 shows the
reducidad capacity and
the current difficulty of
development by Microsoft
counting the numerous
layoffs and closing of
numerous development teams.
Serious and professional developers never develop Windows Store/Metro-Style apps.
They develops .NET, Windows Forms Applications, WPF, MFC, C++, etc. applications.
That is the actual technology that people are using, learning and jobs searching.
And what Microsoft means Modern or actually:
“Windows Store/Phone Projects”
is technology that never wants, nobody asked and needed for.
I never see a decent “Windows Store/Phone Projects” or a rich client app on that technology. I only see garbage, spam, ads and its the better platform for spammers, and people who want to get my money badly and with bad ways.
“Windows Store/Phone Projects” is the best platform for thieves, crooks, swindlers and more.
I never develop to a simply unusefull platform whit limited technologies and a platform in which Microsoft gets 20% of my work.
I want .NET technologies, WPF, Windows Form and to create exe files. For Mobile/Tablet platform i used .apk files that not need a store to distribute them.
I expect from next version of Windows to create local accounts and options to COMPLETITY disable Metro and Windows Store with the restore of removed features like Shadow Copies, Backup and Restore, Aero, Advanced Appearance Settings, Expand All Programs
in Start Menu, Games apps like Solitaire, Mineswipper, Chess Titans, DVD Maker and more removed features. If Microsoft not do this, the next version of Windows continues to be another disaster like Windows 8.x and people stick with Windows XP and 7 in order
to think about migrations to Mac OSX or Linux.
For all who likes and defends the new Microsoft concept, please see the actual Microsoft marketshare in all segments.
Microsoft has to think and open your eyes
and see that from 2010 all
new versions of their products are inferior
products with fewer features,
destroying and killing the product like Windows Mobile, Nokia, Windows, XBox, etc. Microsoft needs to see the marketshare of all this new products and compare with the marketshare of old products.
It is very serious and a lot of attention
today that Windows XP has greater
market share than Windows 8.x for this reason
alone should be enough for Microsoft
to react and change all their wonderful way
of thinking and his philosophy like
"Devices and Services "or the
new" Cloud first,
Mobile First ".
In business, one of the main premises
is that if a product works and sold, do not change it. Microsoft is not only changing Windows, is elimintating the sale of the 50% marketshare of Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate edition. And
more, for more than 2 years, Microsoft is not developing any Service Pack for Windows 7, that is unaceptable. All of this is stupid and idot and the best things to lost confidence and trust on Microsoft.
Microsoft is doing the all things that i can do to kill a company.
Remember those companies, like Coca-Cola, Xerox, etc. that
were about to go bankrupt to change
its philosophy and strategy, which worked
very well, and failed to get up
again until they return to its own strategy and
philosophy of the beginning.
