I see this as an uphill battle for MS. Everything about Machine Learning is easy to do on Mac and Linux, so everything for Machine Learning is currently done on those OSes. You can use ML products on Windows right now, but its been so difficult that no one bothered to. When the last Surface Pro came out I looked into switching, after about an hour of research I decided "Nope, nope, nope that looks too painful for too little benefit". OTOH, MS definitely needed to do this to hopefully win some people like me over, in order to continue to gain ground on Amazon in Cloud usage, IBM in ML software, and Apple in OS and hardware. I'm also intrigued by their marketplace, if I can use this as an app store to sell my services, I might be interested. Best of luck to you MS, you have a challenge ahead of you in this space, but you seem to be firing on all cylinders lately!
