When I reached out to Microsoft about Nixon's comments, the company didn't dismiss them at all. "Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers," says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. "We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time, but customers can be confident Windows 10 will remain up-to-date and power a variety of devices from PCs to phones to Surface Hub to HoloLens and Xbox. We look forward to a long future of Windows innovations."
**We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time**
The spokesperson (someone hired just to speak in the name of the company) saying “we’re not talking about branding at this time”, we can just ignore that, what’s important is what a dev said when replying to a question at an event because, as we all know, people never put their foot in their mouth or say things the wrong way, especially people who are hired for their technical skills and not their communication skills.

Nope, Microsoft didn’t say it.
Yes they did. Go read the comment again.
I suppose at an Apple event if an Apple representative comes on stage and talks about a new iPad you’d be like “Apple never mentioned a new iPad!!!”?
Hilariously stupid. Microsoft lied, don’t get so butthurt about it.
