Useless Windows 10 Features

This all feels to me like Microsoft is getting desperate - it's the usual experience when the money in a niche is drying up: aggressive upsell and every damn thing trying to squeeze another dime out of you.

Have their revenues been tanking?

Nope, they just set an annual record and beat analysts expectations last quarter[1]. Azure is helping them a great deal and just overtook their PC division (which includes everything from Windows to the Surface laptop).

Odd, so why the huckster impression?

Android and Google Docs are overtaking their main turf, even if it is for regular consumers as of right now, it is still a huge change. The Azure stuff is recent and can't attempt vendor lock-in yet, maybe never, at least not to the extent Windows and Office were able to.
