Really?

People are often telling me that M$ spends millions on consumer 
research. But I have to ask... what escaped nutcase *wanted* Microsoft 
Bob? The annoying paperclip? The animated Find dog? That window that 
pops up every... single... time... you log into a Windows XP box for the 
first time? (Do I *look* like I want to take the God damned tour of 
XP?!) The incessent "there are unused icons on your desktop" whinging?

Which users wanted their PCs to get hacked just by being connected to 
the Internet? Who wanted a word processor that constantly crashes? Which 
people thought it was funny if a power cut results in permanent data 
loss and possible an unusable PC?

Seriously... WTF? Who in their right mind thinks M$ provides a good user 
experience? M$ is legendary for the *bad* experience they provide! It's 
certainly NOT just technical people who dislike their products...
