Before reading the link, lemme guess: "we'll dress it in a different way, and still ship it. Regards, Microsoft."

After reading the link: wow! I managed to overestimate Microsoft!

[Davaluri] Hey Gergely, I am responding here, and I think this applies to a bunch of the comments that people have made. I mean, a lot of comments . The team (and I) take in a ton of feedback

"Feedback": mincing words for "backslash".

We balance what we see in our product feedback systems with what we hear directly. They don’t always match, but both are important.

Emphasis mine. So, the data of those "feedback systems" clash with user complains. Are the systems broken? Naaah, it must be the users /s

I've read through the comments and see focus on things like reliability, performance, ease of use and more. But I want to spend a moment just on the point you are making, and I’ll boil it down, we care deeply about developers.

He's babbling "we care about you" to distract the reader. Diversion tactic.

We know we have work to do on the experience, both on the everyday usability, from inconsistent dialogs to power user experiences. When we meet as a team, we discuss these paint points and others in detail, because we want developers to choose Windows.

Blah blah blah. Diversion tactic still going...

We know words aren’t enough

Implicit: "trust us (be gullible trash), this will be more than just words".

Specially hilarious because he's babbling a lot, but in no moment he says anything MS will do to address the complains.

it’s on us to continue improving and shipping. Would love to connect with you about what the team is doing to address these areas if you are open to it.

"Let me pretend this is a problem with you, as if you were the only one complaining about this. And let's make it personal."

[Jawad] It's good to see Microsoft's Windows chief at least acknowledging feedback

He isn't.

while Davaluri's comments on the direction of Windows are slightly encouraging

If you think corporate babble is "slightly encouraging", I have bad news for you.

AI could have written both Davaluri's quote and the article as a whole.
