The fact is that most big organizations end up doing unconscious harm, and Microsoft has done some.

You don't have do be a Microsoft "hater" to recognize that there is some dark stuff in with the good that Redmond does. My intention in starting this thread was not to bash or re-open that kind of flaming battle that goes nowhere.

My intention was to stimulate some reflection on the challenges that come with scale, and the fact that we all tend towards uninspected attitudes that, given enough exercise, will generate some seriously negative results that we did not consciously intend.

Have you ever worked within a corporate culture and tried to undo even one relatively minor, but negative issue?
