If Microsoft products suck then tell them

Scobleizer is a self titled Microsoft Geek Blogger.
He wrote an article requesting feedback on why Microsoft products suck. Which ones and why. He and some other Microsoft Executives aim to change that perception.
I certainly have some beefs and will tell him!
My main complaints would be:
- instable code, particulary the OS and its memory useage
- attempting to do too much with software - sometimes MS Office products try and anticipate the users needs so much that it can be annoying and there is no way to change most of these "user-friendly" options. Of particular annoyance is the way Excel and Word attempt to automate formatting based on its anticipation of your needs. Sometimes it is right but more often it is not.
