Translation: It's good enough. Why innovate? We still make money on it.
It's like having a company van that breaks down all the time, but that's O.K. because, "It's paid for!" Meanwhile, your customers are getting increasingly impatient with your inability to meet their needs.
Windows doesn't break down all the time; I've had a continuous environment for like 2-3 versions of Windows now on my desktop. From 7 to 8.1 to 10.
The fact is, I actually like a lot of the "legacy" stuff in Windows (the classic control panel, etc) and the new iOS/Android like stuff feels just as basic on Windows as it does in those operating systems. Windows gets better (and even smaller) with each release; what's not to like.
