Quality is job one
Microsoft cannot fix this.
Code quality - the missing ingredient - cannot arrive by random testing the code in millions of beta testers machines (i.e. Microsoft customers).
Code quality comes only by examination. Could one of Shakespeare's sonnets be improved by examination of his peers? Possibly. Can the essence of his plots be removed from modern literature? Never. Thus a few steps towards code quality reveal the essential flaw in the Microsoft code skeleton - your bad designs were never subjected to the withering criticism of your peers, and now we all have to suffer for it.
Same principle applies to politics, I assert.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
