I like how management is going, but as someone who fled Windows 8 to Mac OS X (10.9), I couldn't disagree more. I feel like a huge thorn has been removed from my foot and I can now walk normally, after a couple of decades of limping. Of course, I used Cygwin to make Windows seem more like Linux (what I use for server stuff at home and work). Mac OS X for a desktop is still far better than Windows.

Given the direction of MS, I'm hopeful that they'll do some real change under the UI hood of Windows, making it a real alternative to Mac OS X. Some of the apps I need to run (e.g., Lightroom) only work on Windows and Mac.
