MS = Modern Motor Services
It seems obvious to me that M$ follows the modern motor services model.
With modern vehicles (post 90s, maybe later) the "SOHO" mechanic is out of luck. Diags need specialised and expensive equipment. Engines are sealed to prevent access to the non-certified.
With M$ they change so much each iteration that it's not worth learning for SOHO. It pushes the revenue stream to those going for MCSE etc (or whatever they're pushing now).
Fair enough, M$ are a for-profit organisation.
Fair enough, they've tried to make an OS that "just works" for the lay person. Except is doesn't, because OSs are a tad more complicated than combustion engines.
So, change everything useful every iteration. Hide and rename tools and offer five tools to do one job, each job needing a combination of tools. Then charge engineers for training and certification.
