- Hi
It seems to be becoming much more common for Microsoft to just throw out partially working changes. The Microsoft method if you will.
By that I mean FORCE a change onto users and wait to see:
a) did it work,
b) was there much squealing,
c) any changes needed,
d) implement some changes for loudest squeals,
d) repeat util the squealing is down to an acceptably low level.Changes typically work their way through Canary --> Dev --> Beta --> Production
Changes, additions must occur for a product to evolve. Some great ideas may not go over with the majority, that is simply the way development works. And progressive software company will face the exact same challenges. I hope we see MORE of this in Microsoft Edge, the bad stuff can get weeded out, the good stuff remain. This discover button issue was blown way out of proportion by some. And it's doubtful they ever clicked the feedback button on it.
