Yup. MS lost some market share to iPads and Macs, and freaked out and made the situation worse by trying to copy the nonintuitive (for PC users at least) interfaces of Mac products. When users complained, they doubled down and similarly changed the entire Windows interface to something the customers didn’t want.

Seems to me that Microsoft’s current problems are partially due to their own bad decisions and unresponsiveness to their own customers. The unresponsiveness was bad enough when MS just made the occasional bonehead move, but now that they’ve gone “full retard”, it is not tolerable in the least.

Seriously true! Heck, I'd rather use Win98 than the new UI-stuff.
