Oh, sure, and Enterprise SKUs are going to be pinned into those holes forever, but Microsoft could've been more aggressively pushing their platform on the consumer side if they wanted to make any of the changes they've tried in the last ten years stick.

The view from the outside on every Windows platform initiative in the past year is dismal failure, even if the platform has incrementally benefitted a bit from each.

Most software is effectively still written on the same platform it would've been for Windows 7. That's a bad look for everyone building everything there since.

Even internally: Microsoft's own platforms largely failed to embrace UWP. If your own internal developers aren't buying in, why would anyone else?
