Try telling MS how to design the next version of Windows and see how far you get. Note the significant negative reviews of Vista and Windows 8 and the lack of interest that MS shows in such reviews.
Actually, with the latest "Windows Next" or "Windows 10", Microsoft are going out of their way to really listen to users ... at least that is story now. They know they screwed up Windows 8 for so many people, so they have back tracked with Windows 10 which has already taken some of the most major problems into account, there is no longer two interfaces to fight over, but one that works more closely to the Windows 7 desktop when using a desktop machine (different on a Windows Phone or table though). The /new/ experience varies depending on the device, but is generally much improved over Windows 8 even though it is only at the preview stage at this time ... user feedback will help drive the changes for the proper release in due course. Does Debian want systemd to be their Windows 8 ? It seems like it. A.
