> A simpler question is, why doesn't Microsoft have people like you working for them? > Supposedly Windows usability is tested up the yin yang, but I (as could millions of other people) could easily come up with a list of 100+ items that could make a real, tangible improvement in the windows user experience. I'm not even saying that my particular ideas are very good...I think you hit the nail on the head...that these ideas are pretty universal and obvious. Microsoft is floundering in almost every area it's in. Why doesn't the board also see these obvious ideas and question why they aren't happening? Lots of people are lamenting Ozzie leaving, but I think he's just as much part of the problem. Nobody at all cares about Microsoft's cloud computing initiative. Yet he's credited as the architect and a major force for good within MS. I'd be hesitant to lavish all that much praise on him, I mean, this is the guy that was the brain behind the wretched Lotus suite (I've yet to meet anybody who's ever liked using it) and Groove, which sits largely unused on most people's systems, and was a major force for the endless money hole for many of Microsoft's distracting web initiatives. I'm focusing on these because these are the things that he's touted for by Microsoft...yet I'd call none of those things major successes. Perhaps reading this: http://www.scripting.com/disruption/ozzie/theinternetservicesdisruptio.htm http://www.scripting.com/disruption/ozzie/theinternetservice... I'm lamenting how little of this actually has come to fruition and it's not materially all that different from what I've said.
