Reminds me of http://www.datamation.com/news/tech-comics-windows-8-1.html

I'm starting to get feeling, that Microsoft consciously abandons PC as a workstation with a fully functional OS model and moving towards dumb browser-only tablet-like terminal. And I bet that some cloud based, .NET like IDE for Windows developers is on their plans.

..and I'm sooo happy that I can do all my development work on Linux machine.

That sounds extremely likely if you look at the way they are going. I completely agree that I have never looked back since I started using Linux instead. If I truly need a Windows machine I will spin up a virtual machine.
