You understand that Microsoft is simply going to the same deployment model as Apple and Android, right? Instead of upgrading the OS every 5 years, they’re simply updating the components around the kernel. Do you grouse this much every time Apple or Google release a new version of their OS?
No, because, since I don't use Apple or Google, I don't even know about their updates unless I read about it.
It's rare to come across an Apple or Android aficionado who has complaints about their OS. Granted, the percentage of Apple or Android users is a small percentage compared to Windows.
IMHO, MSFT's problems began when they got really invasive and stopped users from turning off updates.
