You can compare previous product launch discussions on reddit/hn yourself and gauge the feelings at the time.

Furthermore, you can see the products yourself and decide what is a major improvement for yourself - without needing to relate to what someone says on an article.

It bears to remember that this is microsoft, the company which until 2012, had no hardware product of its own.

I use a surface today, and the new studio which was launched is a poor product because of its graphics card which is substandard compared to whats on the market now.

But its still a significant step ahead, and all these changes are happening along side getting one core together. The braver company today is Msft.
