This confirms what I've suspected for a while. Microsoft is very afraid of disrupting its main business, which may actually lead to their downfall, if the process hasn't already started because of their slow reaction to the touchscreen devices market.
Contrast this with Apple or Google, who aren't afraid to build another OS that is more forward looking, and may even end up replacing their main one down the line (iOS in Apple's case, Chrome OS in Google's case).
