Maybe on the OS side. However, Vista coincided with the release of Office 2007. That release of Office introduced the dreaded Ribbon, which made functions much harder to find.

I would love an easier way to communicate to tech/math-illiterate CEOs that worst case, average case, and best case are different things, but must all be planned for.
Personally, I use the word "interrogate" when I want to question an idea without implying I want to discredit it.
You don't need evidence to support a premise.
This bit is important. It's not great if a new hire nukes production, but it doesn't preclude them from being a B or A.
Additionally being considered a C isn't necessarily a blame game. If an employee nukes production multiple times, they may not be in the right headspace to work at that company, through no fault of their own.
Returning 3 was "wrong", but infinitely more correct than retuning 0.
How did we lose the art of training new hires?
I think we humans will happily sacrifice aesthetics if it improves something we care about. Unfortunately, we don't care enough about baked-in obsolescence (or can't measure it).
I do wish we would look at electric cars again, to see if making them not look like cars would improve them.
Seriously, though, it's hard to keep track of something that gets used once every five years.
