It would seem that their mergers and acquisition department is doing more of the real work towards adding new features to Windows and Office than the 8000+ MS Windows Devs are. For example, their Apptimum purchase.

Sorry, but if this purchase is the only way Microsoft can come up with to make the cost of upgrading a Windows box drop from up to a thousand dollars to a hundred bucks, there is something terribly, terribly wrong with Windows. Getting existing data and settings from box a to box b should not require that much work, even on the enterprise level.
Tell me again how the Windows Registry makes things better, because this looks to me like yet another example of why it's the worst idea in computing in the last 11 years.
