An improvement on 8, but

Yes it is a big improvement on 8, but still seriously flawed.

They've spent what feels like the best part of 10 years trying to create an operating system that will run on tablets and here it finally is in the same year where it was reported that tablet sales have fell off a cliff.

It feels to me like they've chased the tablet market too hard and missed it. Enterprise people will say enterprise will love tablets, but it is the metro apps that are meant to be tablet optimised and I've downloaded plenty of those (at least the ones that look reputable) and they are basically on a par with chrome apps for functionality.

I just don't get the approach to trying to dumb down apps to Android and iOS level. The security upgrades faster boot times and other efficiencies are welcomed but to what cost? If they have lost the tablet and phone war (3rd place isn't good enough in either) then they need to split their efforts between a consumer OS and a business OS to keep the business customers while they still can.
