Microsoft listen to customers? What heresy are you speaking?

I bought a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 for portability. It came with Windows 8, very soon updated to 8.1 and now 10.
The original Windows 8 was a royal PITA for the exact same reason you find with Android. Many applications, and most importantly system applications like control panel, were full screen only. They market it as a business device and laptop alternative, but in reality it was a device with a high-resolution monitor, controlled by a mouse/keyboard, but designed to behave like a glorified phone with a fat-fingered touch screen.

Someone needed to provide MS with a dictionary, with "arse" and "elbow" clearly highlighted.
