> won't be until the last GenX retires

I was part of a SaaS company of diehard GenX Windows fans.

Decades of abuse by Microsoft has definitely hurt them: they have lost hope and are cynical about the future of Windows. I reckon they would switch away if they could afford to.

Every year Microsoft does something to make you feel like you're being screwed over.

We only just missed taking a silverlight bullet. Windows phone wasted over a year of development. Internet Explorer doubled development costs. The OS version churn is expensive. However SQL server has been a good foundation.

Microsoft used to love developers. They just abuse them now. Even Apple is nicer to developers!
