There are different divisions in Microsoft and these do different things. The division gave us F# (that I am eternally grateful for) is not the same that gave us Windows (that I am never going to forgive). These things can coexist.

F# is public relations and research - so you get to enjoy the fruits. But the day it gains any strategic importance, it will be used and abused for that purpose.
