TechRepublic reports:
Microsoft is nothing if not responsive to its customers. In fact, it’s hyper-responsive. That’s why we’ve ended up with feature-bloat in both Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office as the company has tried to please everyone by including everything-but-the-kitchen-sink in its software.
And that’s why Microsoft will ultimately try to quell the embarrassing Windows Vista debacle by making a bold move with Windows 7 to win back customer loyalty and generate positive spin for its most important product.

What a S-T-U-P-I-D prediction!
Microsoft will never come close to meeting user expectations!
(However, Jason did get me to reply on this article.)
Features that get dropped (like WinFS) or added (like the Office ‘ribbon’) reinforces Microsoft’s lack of functionality over ‘eye candy.’
