I'm not a marketing person but maybe they should try making an OS people actually want.

They do this every 4-5 years. Nobody is ever bothered enough to cause a problem for Microsoft's bottom line.

I don't remember anyone being excited for a version of Windows since 7. 8 and 8.1 were universally hated, a lot of people clung to 7 until they absolutely had to upgrade to 10, and now they're clinging to 10 as long as they can. I seriously doubt there's an upcoming release of Windows people will genuinely like and want, because there's no money in doing that.
