Opinions are hard to change but the thing that brings about that change is surprisingly. Internet explorer is available exvclusively on Windows and as such should be a jewel in Microsoft's crown, whilst I enjoy using it the majority of students on my course all ask why a geek like me doesn't use Mozilla. That said I do believe that in some (but not all) cases software should have a good turnover of releases, the Zune team have done very well with the Zune software roughly updating it every 6 months and clearly on the browser front a lot of people seem to agree that frequent updates are a nice thing to have.

Used to be a linux zealot, roughly when I was 15, I am older and things have changed, I run pretty much exclusively Microsoft software mostly due to a shared image of how things should work. There's no excuse, unless you want to make EVERYTHING so simple a 4 and a half year old can do it. The next version of Movie maker better get some serious ground caught up on what it's lost and what its competitors can do already. I know that's a rant but seriously guys your capacity to innovate in some areas and lack of it in others drives me crazy. Look at what people do TO your products, we aren't simplifying them, finally you updated Paint slightly, but look at, Notepad++, Fences for the desktop- if your customers are doing these simple and useful additions WHY DON'T YOU?! I love MS, they're by far my favourite company in the world, I would hope to work for them someday but STOP thinking you know better. That will gain marketshare, anything else is trying to empty a sinking ship with a spoon.

But now that standards have been incorporated start adding features fast.
