They have me, a Microsoft hater as a staff, record label, and a motherfucking care, considering Windows as an option. They're transforming into a mix of Apple and Microsoft. He's doing what his predecessors couldn't bring new people into the ecosystem without compromising Microsoft's brand. Microsoft faces intense competition outside of Windows. He made their productivity suite free on mobile which boosted subscribers elsewhere.

All I need him to do is bring some of those Microsoft products and services over to Xbone to convince me to buy one. Bring back the Zune while we at it.
