It's nothing new when product management thinks their ugly duckling is the most beautiful baby in the world, but you'd think by now MS would know better than to assume "new and important for project bonuses" equates to Critical Update status. Christ, the number of calls I've had on this since they pushed it out. They do themselves a disservice. I see the same reactions to the new Office UI. They'd do better with a slow burn than to run backwards like this.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
