Comment

Instead of focussing on innovating, Microsoft should concentrate on fixing the things that don't work and make sure that features/complexity are not added unnecessarily.

Microsoft never have been particularly good at innovation, but generally produce good useful software, badly let down by the security flaws and their customer service attitudes. Their insistence on an ever increasing need to upgrade and replace hardware does not fit well in an environmentally conscious world.

Software that works and is supported properly on older machines would help reduce the toxic landfill that is a diect consequence of each major operating system version.
