I recently have the "opportunity" to use Windows and MS office products after 10year or more absence. And Holy Fuck does MS suck at making usable software products. Almost every single UI/UX choice they made is wrong. They ask for confirmation when it's uneeded, they blithely fuck shit up without confirmation when should ask. 4 bazillion tab bars filled with crap. Simple things are hard to find or do, every suggestion / guess is wrong. Things they should guess (such as ',' is the delmeter when importing a file ending with .csv and filled with csv data) they don't. On and on.
Really the most frustrating experience since trying to buy a Nexus 4.
The only reason most people don't suffer this is they've been slowly acclimated to this crap over many years of Office's evolution to below the bottom.
The other MS product I use regularly, xbox and mobile glass or whatever it's called, both also have fucking horrible UI. But half of that is them wanting to force thinly veiled ads and up sells at you.
