There are so many examples of things where they have invented something and then persisted in trying to force people to like it even when it's clear they made a mistake. All the things you said, the "ribbon" interface. Windows 8 in general. They all have good things about them but mostly they seem to exist because microsoft thinks they are a good thing, not because of any benefit to customers. Another one is the winRT api. They started talking about how it would be back to native code again. Great! Except they made it really really hard to use from C++. You have to use their proprietary c++/cx language if you want it to be easy. We all want a better API than win32 for native code, but winrt is frankly a horrible mess if you want to use it from c++. They have managed to invent a whole load of language extensions for this and yet still haven't implemented c++11 properly. Their priorities are horribly wrong. They basically seem to have lost the plot in all areas. Which is a real shame as they are making some very nice things. If only they were putting that skill and energy into the right things.[/quote]
