Big companies rarely will admit they screwed up.
They prefer to band aid the situation and hope that it will get better in
time.
IBM is known for this.
Many years ago they gave their mobile work force one of the first Research
In Motion (RIM) devices.
The units were so bad that they were just about unusable.
Calls being missed, the unit not beeping etc were common.
Rather than admit to their drone employees what everyone already knew, IOW
the devices were POS, IBM gives them all generic pagers so that if the RIM
didn't go off, the pager would and let the person know to POR the RIM to
suck in the message.
I am not making this up, believe it or not.
Microsoft is no different.
They will wave and flil their arms screaming that Vista is great until they
can finally fix it and then the Windows 7 propaganda machine will start
rolling and the cycle will repeat itself.
