    Microsoft applied a data-driven approach to find out which features to add now, which features to add later, and which to completely avoid.

    WHAT DATA?!

        If they were using that data, then they would have included features people actually use in 10. Or maybe they’re just doing the inverse of whatever the data suggests.

          Or maybe you’re overestimating the amount of people who actually used that. Spending effort on something that less than maybe 1% of users actually use and that is not load bearing to any important workflows is hard to argue for when you’re a corp that is only concerned about its own bottom line. It’s a pretty rational business decision, even if you (and I) disagree with it.

          It’s the data of what corners MS can cut to save more money than they lose when x number of users decide enough is enough.
