Ok? What's the point? Do you want them to invent a time machine and not do that? Is it a bad idea to fix the issues?

No, I want them to write better stuff going forward, which this seems to be.

It's like them finally admitting the emperor's new clothes is the king is naked.

Frankly, I don't care because Microsoft's ethos is one of hostility, neglect, and irresponsibility.

How is it too late when they are continuously producing new products?
