The average user focuses on what’s convenient, not what makes their core system operate. This cast of individuals is more widely spread than the cast of power users, system administrators, Web developers, and so on. The multitasker cast is so minor that Microsoft — as a smart business — doesn’t strictly cater to them (myself included). They’re more concerned with the majority that relies on flashy technologies to make marketing judgments. If it ‘looks cool’, they’ll be more likely to snatch it up.

The bottom line is that Microsoft is going to spend more time on progressing technologies — while they may boil down to simply looking good — that make the every-day user’s experience more fun and flashy. When they’ve settled themselves in this endeavor, they’ll refocus their attention on the core structure and operation of Windows. Until then — if the day ever comes — they’ll do what’s strategically correct when it comes to making the almighty dollar.

I say everybody boycott every new Windows OS until they start addressing what REALLY matters in an OS, and not just bells and whistles that too many of us are growing tired of.
