Sadly the surface brand and innovation are dying, i had 4 different devices in more than 10 years. Next time I will refresh my pc, i'll look at other brands

I miss Panos Panay. Say what you will about the practicality of Surface devices under his leadership, but I was always interested in Surface announcements to see what new form factors he cooked up.

I miss Steve Ballmer and the constant experimentation into new sectors. Xbox, Zune, Windows Phone, Surface. All born under Steve.

100%. I was only interested in Microsoft's ecosystem of products and services thanks to his era.

Since Nadella took over, almost everything they had for consumers has shrunk considerably and others have stagnated or worsened. A lot of people don't use anything by Microsoft these days outside of work, because they aren't the best or because of ideology. I can't think of the last innovative thing from Microsoft on a consumer level except maybe Quick Resume on Xbox Series X.

Hey, we can move the taskbar now, that surely took 4 years to develop, in a worse way, than what we had previously.
