This email has given me a lot more respect for Bill gates.

  The guy's still a narcissistic asshole and likely sexual predator, but when even Bill Gates says the UI sucks on Microsoft products, you know the rot runs deep.

  Definitely a wild read. Bill has a certain style of writing; here is my favorite part: > So I gave up and sent mail to Amir saying - where is > this Moviemaker download? Does it exist? > > So they told me that using the download page to > download something was not something they anticipated. > > They told me to go to the main page search button > and type movie maker (not moviemaker!). > > I tried that. The site was pathetically slow but after > 6 seconds of waiting up it came. > > I thought for sure now I would see a button to just go > do the download. > > In fact it is more like a puzzle that you get to > solve. It told me to go to Windows Update and do a > bunch of incantations. That's just the beginning.
