This is crazy. Essentially you get no product memory and no incentive at designing a good product because the designers won't experience the negative effects of their actions.

If this is by design, tell me what Microsoft management wants Windows to go to.

A saner dynamic would be

Build this please

I built it, use it for a couple of weeks

OK it's shit let's try this other one.

I think the problem is that there is no one product evangelist at the helm saying, this is where we are, this is where we are going to go, we are going to solve these problems along the way, and we will have these metrics to tell us where we are.

Instead its every crab for themselves and the bucket is overflowing.
