Sounds nice, but will it stick?
nope.
MSFT is changing but it might be too late. They tried to produce an expensive closed ecosystem, and failed. Its now problematic for them, as we move to the cloud.
Too little, too late.
What is really funny is that msft benefited from an open ecosystem from its beginning. But they somehow lost sight of that and just thought $$$.

They may have lost the home PC market, but that was probably happening anyway the way they missed the boat on mobile. There's a ton of inertia in the business market, stopping support on a 15 year old operating system should not be a major news story, but it is because so many companies are using it. And companies that have upgraded want Windows 7, not Windows 8, and if they don't want Windows 8, they don't want Mac or Linux either. I don't know what "one experience across devices" means, but if Windows 9 looks like Windows 7 on the desktop version, I think Microsoft will be just fine.
