"Here's a look at the six core themes that emerged at Microsoft Build including Windows relevance, Azure, Dynamics 365, user experience and digital transformation."
IMO, reports of Windows' irrelevance are highly exaggerated. YMMV.

It’s Microsoft, the home of the blue screen of death.

I am seriously looking at various Linux flavors. The drive to a cloud-based, service (at a cost) O/S where the security of my data is at the hands of others is a serious issue for me.

They should go back to their roots. Just make a BASIC interpreter for other people’s operating systems. And call its self Micro Soft again. The little weenies.

Windows?
We don’t do windows.

You have to squint a bit to find a smartphone in that mix. It is in a prominent place near the top, connected to the broken heart from the 'dear John' text and the Google Maps marker to find a bar to drown your sorrows. One could actually write a novel following the icons around. Starting at the upper left, after a night of heated passion, he gave her a key to his place. But it was followed by a broken heart. Then the search for new love....

Nah, Microsoft should go back to being a UNIX developer and vendor. Long before MS-DOS, and throughout the 1980's, there was XENIX... y'all remember XENIX, right?
From Wikipedia:
In the mid-to-late 1980s, Xenix was the most common Unix variant, measured according to the number of machines on which it was installed. Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said in 1996 that for a long time that company had the highest-volume AT&T Unix license.

They had Xenix before MS-DOS, but not before their BASIC interpreter business..

Linux Mint (current release 18.1 "Serena") is very easy to set up and use. 1. Download the ISO image from
here. 2. Burn the ISO image to a DVD. 3. Boot from the DVD 4. Linux Mint will launch - wait until you get to the desktop. No input required until then. 5. Double click the Install Linux Mint icon. 6. Follow the prompts. You'll welcome the nearly instant device recognition, among other things. Run it from an SSD and get incredible performance. Enjoy. PS - if you find it necessary, you can run Windows apps using WINE, or Windows itself using Virtual Box.

In the hearings yesterday ‘intelligence’ heads were asked if they’d be comfortable with Kaspersky anti-virus on their computers... something the geek squad pushes... the same geek squad members who were trained by the FBI to look for kiddie porn on computers they were fixing...
Did you hear this?

Yes, Linux Mint Cinnamon is easy to try before you commit. Just download the .iso file from linuxmint.com and make a bootable DVD from the .iso file. You can boot from it and try it out from the DVD without installing it.
It will have FireFox ready to run and browse with.

MS problem is corperate leadership that have no vision or clue what MS does (or computers do)
even experts do not want to admit the cloud is just a remote server. (that is totally hackable)
