Microsoft's understanding of what an operating system is and how it facilitates a user's interaction with their computing hardware has been completely misguided over the last decade. So much so that I can't tell if this headline describes something good, in the sense of salutary neglect, or whether it's a euphemistic summation of what's been done since Windows 7 (taking a considered, and profoundly user-centric approach toward OS design has been eschewed and given short shrift in favor of animated sprites in the start menu, for example).
