I completely uunderstand what you are saying and while not an IT worker I had the job of assiting the IT department for issues in my own department forsuch things as deployement of new software and Q&A for my coworkers (nothing fancy though)

but here again we are not in the same sitution IMO than what you described... to me those upgrade are just a new denomination for SP... anything working for win8 will work on 8.1 8.2 etc util a major change occure in couple years... they just change the way of naming and doing things due to cycle and fact that they are dealing with more than just bug correction...

to be clear I completely agree with what you are saying I just don't believe the bolded part is of concern here IMO... on the contrary they'll add more compatibility coherence among different platforms... at least that's how I perceive the direction they want to take...

Fair enough.  Whether it happens with PC level OSes or not, remains to be seen.  The problem is it does happen in the mobile market and tablet market.

yes, my understanding though is that MS wants to do exactly the opposite android does by unifying all their OSs accross a larger amount of hardware... which like you said is the big downfall of android and tablets and smartphones in general... but only time will tell
