For what it's worth, Satya shutting it down it wasn't any better. At least with Balmer, it may still be alive today. It was actually doing pretty well in certain markets in Europe. All of which they threw away very quickly after Satya took over.

I'm not as familiar with Balmer's time but it sure seems MS under Satya was way more trigger happy when it comes to cancelling and deprecating products.
