Speaking of Windows: Microsoft PMs stupidity can never be matched by declining SW development efforts, even with better HW.

Here you cannot really blame the poor developer, when the PM demands to scan all Documents, not just some relevant sound recordings. It's so obviously insane, that only PM's get away with this. Of course the dev matched our PM here, with his insane directory iters, but alone the idea must be appreciated first.

PMs don't get to order devs around at Microsoft (or any sane organization). Devs can tell their PM counterparts to stuff it if they try to demand stuff. If you've worked at Microsoft, or met someone who has, you'd know this.
