I don't understand why microsoft "felt pressure" at all.
People loved windows 7 and hated windows 8. But they kept doing more of what the customers hated over and over, and now they're blocking people from using the work-arounds that make their systems usable for them.
There are a lot of things wrong with Microsoft as a company. It is too big and the pressure is very real, intense, and human. They have a culture of self cannibalism where teams compete for resources to appease the whims of their naked emperors. That spite lives on for years and almost any old Microsoft employee will brag about it like they survived the killing fields.
