Maybe MS deliberately made Windows 8.x's interface repugnant as their statisticians ran the numbers and predicted that based on past experience in terms of sales of their OS's which got bad and/or mixed reviews, their market share still held strong, and still holds strong to this day. With that in mind, they may have predicted that they'd make more of a profit with Windows 9 considering the gargantuan contrast to its predecessor which everybody will see upon release. The whole Sinofsky and Ballmer movie could have just all been a big planned show.
What goes on behind closed doors will most likely never be found out, but I, for one, don't think Microsoft's as stupid as everybody makes them out to be. The more I look into it, Windows 8 seems like no mistake when you evaluate the entire picture.
