From a M$ employee:
"mismanagement and corporate bloat. i had over a 10 year career at
microsoft and watched windows and windows nt grow up. when vista
(longhorn, cairo, etc.) was being made, i watched the bloated
microsoft machine fail worse each time. and with vista, saw them
literally have to throw the code away, get a new vp, and start over.
years of work thrown away. then they started over with the windows
server 2003 codebase and wrote as fast as they could again from the
beginning while throwing out all the innovative features.
vista is nothing other than nt with a new coat of paint because of
that. and that is another reason why i left microsoft. i had,
unfortunately, missed that they already jumped the shark. "
