The main failure on Microsoft's side was not allowing people to pre-download the game and activate it later.
With the entire world trying to download and log in at the same time it was to be expected that something could be wrong, big time.
Apparently they haven't learned from the launch of FS2020, they've made exactly the same mistakes - but on a bigger scale this time.
I'm afraid it's named that way because it's how Microsoft wants/would like/hope their operating system to be consumed next... Remotely, virtualized, cloudified, call that as you wish as long as the user pays a fat monthly subscription for it...
From that perspective, it might even be an apt name.
What I do agree with Moxie is that in modern corporate environments developers work in compartments (black boxes), and the companies they work for are organized in compartments too
No one in those cages has a F idea as to what the company wants to achieve, they only see a tiny part of it, and the company actually discourages people "wasting time" with thinking beyond their duties...
No wonder about the current hype to replace people with AI's, robots or whatever else at the earliest opportunity
