Microsoft has blundered big time. I think that the company will suffer
greatly with
this new product line. Bad concepts and design of these programs will plague
them for years.

The ultimate winner: Windows Vista. And you think nothing could be worse
than windows ME!
Reason: Every aspect of this OS is horrible. From its looks, to all the
changes they made,to the things they should have done but didn't, they took
XP and twisted it into a monstrosity.

Worse browser: IE7 wins this title hands down. Its non customizable
interface with
bad design, its poorly implemented tabs, and the multitude of bugs makes
this software of beta quality and never should have been released.

Worse Office suite: Office 2007 because of its huge bloat, and the ribbon
(the new toolbar), which will go down in history as the stupidest interface
ever implemented in an office program.

Worse Media player: WMP11. Because it is damn ugly and failed to add the
things people really needed.

Worse email client: Windows live mail desktop, because the design follows
the
same concepts of vista, again they took outlook express... and made a
monster out of it.

Having said all that, I have to say that there is one stand alone MS product
that is good,
IF you tweak it and customize it. Live messenger 8

The bright side to all this, is that the failures of the above software will
open up the doors to new
developers, to make new innovative applications that will provide service
and joy to humanity in 2007.
