While they cannot take back open sourcing some of the core technologies liberally, this doesn't mean their management had to be become friendly as well. Microsoft is so big that it's no wonder that one team does something great for everyone while another team partly voids the improvement by doing something stupid. Windows 8 and 10 have, as usual, improved the kernel and the surrounding subsystems but the stuff on top got worse in many aspects. My conclusion is that Microsoft is in need of a charismatic leader who keeps quality in check and regression to a minimum. Someone who doesn't tolerate the stuff they're pulling right now.
