I'm sure the pr0n industry will welcome this news. As well as a certain demographic wanting certain "improvements"...

Microsoft is listening to its customers and that can only be a good thing for its business, its relationship with customers, and the company’s general outlook. Yeah, totally listening to all that feedback on Windows 10

Does it mean they will finally bring back the classical menu in Office ? (Office 2003 still working as good as it used to.)
and go easy on the W10 nagging ?

It would be tricky that one - I personally have got used to Ribbon now and would find it hard to go back.
Of course, with good software architecture (such as the command pattern), it would be entirely possible to provide both or a mix, at user preference, but that's surely a stupid suggestion.

Do you know that when ribbon was introduced, Classic menu keyboard shortcuts were still there ?
and menu entry names are still in apps along with localized names.

Quote: Microsoft then went further, releasing a statement that talked about how the company had “listen[ed] to feedback regarding the level of disclosure for Windows 10 updates [and] decided to implement a new system for communicating updates to the operating system.”
There is some wrong with my English for sure...I thought 'listening' is something like pay attention, now it is cler to me that it's a synonym to 'statement'...

I would say that Microsoft is hearing its customers. I see no evidence of listening.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I see no evidence of hearing either...I see evidence only for billing...

I’m not sure when coding started to replace programming as the term for what we do, but I suspect it was around the time when non-technical executives began to think of custom software as a commodity, when the perception emerged that you could get quality software development at bargain-basement prices.

Sadly, programming is not yet a profession. Robert C Martin (Uncle Bob) has argued for progression in this direction a few times (e.g. Clean Coder Blog) - particularly arguing that we should really get our act together before external agents force it on us (probably badly, as governments rarely seem to do a good act of regulation nowadays).
At some stage, there will be a real disaster - financial or, FSM forbid, involving large loss of human life, that turns out to be the blame of shoddy software. At that stage it will be too late and regulation will be forced from above, probably badly.
