You opened the door for the relatedness so I had to take it. But yes, 
from a company corporate perspective I'd agree. But I don't trust 
Microsoft at all regardless because to me it's all about stealing our 
data and spying on us with what we do. And Nadella will do what makes 
the company money. So if they have to screw over their customers to make 
it so be it. "everyone" (using that loosely) uses Windows so they can do 
a lot of things to their customers and get away with it because they 
know their customers can't get away from Windows and Microsoft products. 
So unfortunately the company's output itself hasn't changed much.
