Microsoft don't really want consumers to use Windows on the home desktop anymore. If your home desktop is not Windows, or you don't even have a home desktop, you'll have to keep data in cloud services. Guess what MS sells now...? If for any reason you're stuck with Windows at home, congratulations - you're officially a whale to milk. This attitude is not entirely new (there were glimpses, back in the early 2000/XP days, before the need to get rid of 2000 resulted in XP getting a cleanup), but now it fits perfectly with MS business model.
