Sinofsky made a lot of big design decisions such as Metro tulip - fecking over good release of Windows with bad, perhaps he demanded Ballmer upgrades his office PC from Windows 7?

I have sort of learned to love the Ribbon, once you have loaded "search commands" from microsoft research and got your head round the idea its pretty good.
Windows 7 is the most stable and instantly usable operating system I have ever seen in the user space. (Linux may have the edge on timex style reliability but 7 is pretty close).
it can even be run secureish.
not sure about metro yet.

Microsoft is a big monster. They really need to cut the workforce and make it lean and come out with innovative products. I have heard of guys writing about a thousand line of code for some feature for the Windows OS and it took a year to approve the code.
