Last time Microsoft attempted something new, we ended up with Metro.
For the record, I love Metro. It's a beautiful interface. Perfect for phones. Wonderful for tablets. Unfortunately, Microsoft decided to half-ass it on tablets (dumping a user into the 'normal desktop' when some things are run, not enforcing application programmers to go all-in on the interface, or allowing a choice).
Additionally, they decided to put it on desktops, which was a very poor decision, too. Not to mention servers.
I seriously doubt Microsoft (or Apple, for that matter) will do anything that is surprising in the coming year. When was the last time they did?
