Who Designs These Things?
This popped up while I was editing a Word document:
What's “click and type”? What did I do to invoke it? Why doesn't it work in multi-column documents? I have no idea. But rather than fixing it, Microsoft decided to baffle its users with this animated, Mac Classic-looking computer. They have a tendency to mask design problems with awkwardly-worded dialogs or other hacks, rather than solving the underlying problems. Apple's software has its problems, but at least someone thought about it before it was written.
