Agreed. It's not for lack of investment either; they invested staggering amounts of engineering time in WinRT and UWP and they actually built some cool stuff.

Agreed. It's not for lack of investment either; they invested staggering amounts of engineering time in WinRT and UWP and they actually built some cool stuff. But, well... it certainly didn't help that they made it so difficult to adopt the new technologies. Project Reunion/WASDK makes it seems like they've learned that lesson and are trying to salvage what they can - but it's much too little and much too late.
