What Would You Say to the Bosses of Microsoft?

Larry Hyrb, better known to most of you as Major Nelson or the guy who posts about all of the content that gets posted on the Xbox Live Marketplace (subsequently being blamed for everything) is asking for your feedback. Early next week he’ll be going to an internal Microsoft meeting where a variety of figureheads from throughout the company (not just the Xbox division) will be in attendance.
Major Nelson is asking for any and all feedback, by way of comments on his blog, for these individuals and all of the services and software Microsoft provides. What would you change, what made Windows ME suck, why Hotmail was a thing of the 90s; anything you can think of, head over to Major’s blog and post it in the comments. You never know – he must just share it with those bosses and while your comment alone might not be the cause for change, but it might spur on some action to look into your complaints or feedback.
What would you say to leaders of services at Microsoft?
microsoft needs to fix there xbox 360 systems.. some of them break alot.
I would ask them why they lied for over a year about the 3RROD problem.
Hmmmmm…. Where does one start when faced with the opportunity to vent…
I’d ask em when they are actually going to make a new version of Windows rather than just layering on top of the old versions. There is a reason a OS like Linux uses a fraction of the resources to run than Windows. Most people dont realize that if you look deep enough in Windows XP there are still help files from Windows 3.1 in there! I’d be willing to bet they are still in Vista too. I’d love to see a truly big Windows release again, like the jump from 3.1 to 95 was. That was an enlightening experience.
The 360’s need to be Ring of Death proofed, definitely. I want a 360. I’m interested in the console. There are a number of games out for it I want. But I’m never, ever, EVER gonna put money down on a system with these kinds of failure rates.
Also, the protective shit in Vista needs to be stripped out and true hardware access needs to be returned to 3d apps and drivers. Their additions to the process killed EAX, ruined performance, and made drivers a thousand times slower coming and more buggy for Vista.
