Just a note of clarification. "Native app" usually
refers to compiled software, as opposed to Metro
trinkets or webpage "apps" or Java/.Net software,
or any other "sandboxed" software that's not actually
compiled to native code (CPU instructions) and
therefore runs in some kind of VM or support
framework.

It sounds like what you mean is not that but
rather pre-installed Microsoft products.


Having microsoft in the name is a negative point in the
selection process. Preinstalled is not an issue.
Compiled is not an issue.
The issue is that the next version bears enough similarity
to the old version that I can operate the old capabilities
of the new version without a manual.

If you want preinstalled hell, try linux.
It's usual for the next version to have different
preinstalled/default
apps/utilities. It's rare for different distros to have the same
preinstalled/default apps. You can't even edit a text file without
going on a scavenger hunt to find out what editors are available.
Ain't choice great? Sure is if it's my choice. If it's
chaos due to other's capricious churning, not so much.
