Microsoft is spinning stories as fast as disgraced GOP governors:

Microsoft’s Tony Prophet on why they skipped Windows 9 for Windows 10: ‘It came and it went’

“Windows 10 is not going to be an incremental step from Window 8.1,” he explained. “Windows 10 is going to be a material step. We’re trying to create one platform, one eco-system that unites as many of the devices from the small embedded Internet of Things, through tablets, through phones, through PCs and, ultimately, into the Xbox.”

Oh good God WHY?! If design history has taught humanity anything it’s that things that try to be two things always suck at both, that is if they work at all. There’s a reason flying cars never succeeded on the market, why amphibious vehicles aren’t good on the road or the water, and why Transformers aren’t fucking real. I’m sure that future Windows 10 phone, tablet, and Xbox users will be thrilled with all the bloated shit in their OS that has is totally goddamned irrelevant to running their particular device, and which can only fuck shit up on it.
