As far as "what Microsoft thinks I want", assuming you are talking about bloatware. They are about as good as Apple in that regard, perhaps better because you can actually set default programs for actions. Android almost always comes littered with bloat. Or maybe you are talking about the Windows store, in which case I would agree with you, I think it should be as open as Windows has always been.

I'm not against options, but it all comes down to practicalities.
I have laptop with over 400gb of storage, hubby is at the same level. Cloud storage for that amount of data would be an astronomical cost plus it relies on perfect wifi connection, something that in this day and age still cannot be guaranteed. I know my wifi went down this week for hours.
I know eventually I will have to use a windows 8 on a laptop, but only when my current one dies, by then who knows where the Microsoft operating system will be and what tablets will run, until that day I will stick with the system I have, Windows 7 and either an apple or android tablet.
