Yep. There was a considerable "echo chamber" going at Microsoft for the past two decades, centered on Steve (and to a lesser extent, Bill). It's great to see it breaking up. Hopefully it's not too late to turn that giant ship around and get it going in a healthier direction.

I think Microsoft is already going in the right direction by actually listening to its end users with Windows 10. I've seen demos of Windows 10 and people used to Windows 7, Vista and XP should be able to transition to Windows 10 with relatively little difficulty, unlike Windows 8, which required you have to totally learn a new user interface (one that a lot of users hated like Conservatives disliked Obama).
