No the statement is "it's worth investing in making the UX less crap to increase productivity". Either improve SW (of it's in house crap scripts, as often), switch to more performant AV, etc. etc.

It does not have to be crap actually, I have seen companies with usable machines.

O365 on the other hand, I don't see a solution, it's horrible.

I guess this is the mantra they used to redesign the Windows UI. It didn't work (they stopped at 15%). Now all they do is to use the same mantra to start over and over.

well for Windows specifically I think it's rather a managerial issue, some managers want to leave their mark, and 10% done is good enough to get promoted to other pastures and the the missing 90% become someone else's problem...
