Why bother fixing what is not broken. Development should focus on OS integrity rather than just producing new operating systems for the sake of it.

They are fixing what is broken from their viewpoint (not from the user’s).

The point of W8 is to totally lockdown the OS so that places like India and China can’t pirate it the way that they did with XP. And to create a walled garden where they can nickel and dime the users and developers to death just like smartphone walled gardens have been so successful at accomplishing.
