I am going to try to refrain from adding my voice to the anti-MSFT chorus in future. No compelling reason, other than boredom with the whole topic. There’s nothing new to talk about. How many times does anyone want to read or write about lousy business practices, shoddy design and implementation, an utter lack of regard for customer choice or desires, and an unwillingness to do anything about any of these things?
There are lots of other weblogs that link to the same bug reports, the same pithy attacks: the Waypath results I was getting helped me realize how unoriginal my gripes were, so I’m going to leave it to others to work those fields.
