Do you or I really care abouts boasts from the marketdroids? Cut The Rope doth not a great browser make!
You and I know the truth. There are seminal, world-beating versions of software that Microsoft has released in the past.
And then, after dominance is attained, they touch up the pig's hair and makeup a bit in the subsequent releases. IE7-11 has been hair and makeup and some botox.
I don't know how Microsoft works internally, I only know history. And, reading their statements, Spartan might be a world-beater at least in quality, features, or developer interest. When Microsoft feels threatened, that's when the sparks fly.
I do not EVER underestimate Microsoft. How quickly did they turn that billion dollar Mojang acquisition around, 2 days?
