Microsoft has not made a good product. Ever. Every program has issues that should not be there if you're selling it. Yet they get away with it

Someone didn’t own a Zune and it shows.

People won't believe me that windows is an absoloute dumpster fire, sure it works most of the time but when it doesn't it quickly becomes apparent how much the whole thing is creaking edifice built atop pretty much every past version of itself. I could do a whole rant.

I like .NET, Visual Studio Code, and SQL Server. The rest is garbage.

Excel is a very nice product, and I really enjoy AoE2. Even if it now has a quite large tech debt with HD the release version was super stable and a leap forward compared to its contemporaries.

The first Xbox was also a very good product.

One Note. I have yet to see anything from anyone come close. Works with all of my devices, allows me to use a stylus for designs on an infinite graph paper canvas, and damned good at note taking.

Visual studio has been the best IDE for a long time, and OneNote is still the best note taking application.

I have to say that at least it's achieved in usability what I've used on unix for about 30+ years now. Hint: the VI tribe reeeeeeally hates it.

I use OneNote everyday, but it lacks feature parity between the devices you use it on
