My ZDNet colleague has written a superb piece on the issue of Microsoft and developer trust.
Microsoft has been struggling with a developer trust problem for some time. At some point during the whole "hey, let's reimagine Windows into Windows 8 thing", as an organisation they stopped communicating well, and started to make some really strange decisions.
Things like, developers not getting early access to Windows 8.1 RTM (although this decision was reversed), or limiting access to the Windows Phone 8 SDK.
