I think the problem is that Microsoft is now executing so poorly that one hand does not know what the other is doing. Some departments at Microsoft probably know about the issue, but there's no way to get the information through to the other side and get this actioned. Most likely a result of corporate red tape and cover-my-ass tactics.

One more reason for Mr. Ballmer to go. He's such a liability, having all the resources in the world and failing almost every time. He'll drive what once was the biggest and most innovative company in the world into the ground.

You would agree with me if you ever tried developing on Windows Phone 7. What a sorry excuse for a developer portal their app hub was. It was so slow I suspect it was hosted on the Ballmer's grandma old laptop in the garden shed. Constant crashes and data losses. Confusing interface that would give you alarming messages after you clicked anything, and give you no way to undo. People were screaming and moaning at them to fix it for months. Nothing changed. Total silence. If I was Ballmer I would fire the guy responsible for that failure on the spot. Yet they needed 1.5 years to realize that it's broken and improve it (slightly) to its current state.

Billions of dollars and hundreds of software engineers not enough to create and host a webpage with a few forms? Only at Microsoft.
