I clearly agree with everyone that Microsoft's development team is not paying attention to it's customer base on ergonomics which is enforcing much strife. I am just stating my opinion of their agenda thus far I have seen. Their direction is subscription cloud based services eventually, far less hybrid services to none. Possibly, AD lightweight as a gateway for local SSO resources such as network printing. Their applets are XML and HTML5 based but attached to 365 services mostly on top of SharePoint platform. Their current version of Windows desktop OS is becoming less important with much overhead and will probably morph onto an Android or another Linux kernel with cloud MDM. Even Apple products could be connected.
The old client to server base connections are going away and only time will tell how accurate I am.
