A weak attempt
This is just a weak attempt to try and stop developers from going outside of Windows, where they invariably see it's a nicer place to be and then they don't come back.
The trouble is that everyone working in real world IT already knows that there are better alternatives. Much of real world server farms these days is Linux based, then There is the yoof playing with their raspberry PI's; web devs all working on macs on neutral HTML5 and non MS JavaScript. Jo public has a tablet of one flavour or another for browsing, e-mail and social (all non MS)
PC sales are down due to the above and awful Windows 8/10 we know what's best for you edition / let's try and force subscription to services c**p
It's a bit late for panic MS, you screwed up by not listening to your existing customer base and instead went off hunting unicorns of one a Microsoft only world which will never exist
Biting the hand that feeds IT
