Surely not relevant in this case, but in the german novel “The 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear” (by Walter Moers) a Bollock is a giant, very dumb creature (as in multiple km high), who at some point in his life takes his head of, puts it on the ground and spends the next centuries searching for his head. I think that is funny.

You are just assuming, that MS actually knows and cares for what users want. In my experience its the other way round. MS will introduce a change/new behavior and user have to adjust their own behavior, because most are not willing to switch to a competitor program.

I remember very well how much my father sweared at the computer because MS changed the UI to the ribbon bar. It wasn’t at all what he wanted and MS didn’t care to ask users beforehand.
