1) Nothing succeeds like success. It settles a lot of arguments in people's minds, and Microsoft's mobile strategy is not succeeding.
2) Microsoft's users are likely more change-averse than Apple's.
3) Over the years, Microsoft has cultivated a reputation that is rather different from Apple's. That directly affects how the two are perceived.

So why are they allowing their mobile strategy to seep into their bread-and-butter desktop market? Microsoft has built a reputation of maintaining a consistent and reliable platform, and bending over backwards for backward-compatibility. Why are they giving play to the avant-garde UI experimentation that, all things being equal, might drive desktop customer back to MS? I've read more than one report of people fed up with Unity or Gnome3 switching back to Win7.
