Its all about alignment
Remember the mantra that desktop and mobile must be a consistent experience.
Now that we've had confirmation that the mobile division is being scaled right down as nobody is buying the junk, and we know that the same "alignment" approach is being taken on tablet and desktop - UEFI lockdown on mobile devices; less and less control over OUR desktop devices; confirmation that Windows 10 won't reach the expected volumes - as people refuse the "free" downgrade..
It seems that everyone in the real world has figured out what is happening, except those who are at the helm in Microsoft. For some reason, Titanic and icebergs spring to mind.
Anyone want popcorn whilst we sit back and watch ?
We all know where this ends up - the same place as where all the other over-confident mega-corps went to when they tried silly things to their customer base.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
