                            It just reeks of "Apple is doing it this way let's copy them." Microsoft is in much better hands now that Ballmer isn't in the picture.

                              I recognize that every company has their failures... Look at IBMs PS2 - proprietary hardware, MS IE and Edge,... But this is more 'cake' than anyone wants.
