Why Microsoft needs three or more operating systems

I'm sure it will go over well with customers and developers when their devices / code once again won't run anymore with the Windows 9 OSes. I doubt MS would be as big if they'd made this mistake back in the Windows 2 through 4 days. Once the upgrade situation is worse than on Android you know they're in trouble.

I'd assume all the Windows RT + .NET Compact code would be just fine, it's more the physical devices that would be the worry.
