This kind of categorical statement always baffles me. How can you be so sure that they will never, ever release a product you might want?

You can't, so maybe you're just showing an emotional bias against a company, another thing that I find baffling.

That's not what they said. They said "likely", in the context of a comment predicting a future of Microsoft decline.
