Microsoft could make a lot of money as well as ensure its future by stopping all this "next stage or sea change" development. That would allow them to cut their size way down.
Just take MS OS and Office and polish it and use focus groups to find out what people like and polish it till it shines and never fails.
Sure there would be new things but they should be incremental for the most part.
I would think one big engine (just like DOS) would underlay everything and the main changes would be tweaks to the UI with the transparent ability to use old UIs.
This would save the enterprise customers all the training time and money they now have to spend learning Vistas and the like.
MS and Office 2014 would be new but not drastic changes and their cost would be lower because there would be less development that only seems to make things worse.
PC users would be happy.
If they did want a tablet OS then develop one by itself and don't try to shoehorn their big system into it.
