I'm on your boat with this. I haven't seen any change that truly 'matters'. I have noticed them trying to increase their presence on technical and social media but the content really isn't anything of substance which leads me to feel that they're purely marketing moves.

Not sure I follow. In what sense are things like Surface Pro, Hololens, Surface book laptop, open source .NET etc. purely marketing moves?

  They haven't been hits, yet.

    They can only innovate, and have no control over what "hits". The above are good products.

      My interpretation of the grand parent's comments were that it's nice and all that "Microsoft is changing" but if it doesn't result in a turnaround in their fortunes with consumers and developers it's all for naught. So far I don't see any turnaround happening.

  They don't change anything software wise. Windows 10 is still being forced as a benchmark of how popular the OS is (and hilariously we heard this first on the MS event), while they didn't have the balls to address the privacy questions regarding data collection upfront and what will they do about it. I guess people and media forget fast.
