Microsoft is merely following Apple's shitty lead on that.
Microsoft is finding new ways to hinder usage all over the place. The "+" symbols in Explorer that used to tell you which folders had contents are missing now. Oh, unless you happen to roll the cursor into the left pane; then they suddenly appear.
But it's not without its idiotic blunders. Topping the list is Apple's insistence that your user ID be an E-mail address. That's not just a bad idea, but it has resulted in untold numbers of people with numerous Apple IDs and content bought with all of them.
How about fixing the log-in system? It claims "bad login" for valid credentials, doesn't say what's bad about it, and doesn't provide any way to reset supposedly bad passwords.
That works only in a simple example like this, where you can make contact with all of the undesired objects without making contact with the desired ones. This is almost never the case in a real-world illustration.
Yes, extensively Mac OS. Now you want to talk about a turd, that is it.
PackageMaker is abandonware and an absolute fiasco. I don't even know where to begin documenting how this "product" fails at its primary task so utterly. Have you ever tried building an installer with it? Even Apple products tried to avoid it; Final Cut Studio, for example.
When the Mac installer does anything, it's just as capable of littering your system with crap.
And the Mac uninstaller doesn't leave turds behind, because it doesn't exist. You just have unknown crap all over your system.
Then there was the total lack of any way to install a single printer driver from Apple's collection until (IIRC) SnowLeopard. You got to install half a gig of drivers for every Epson printer ever made, just to support your one printer.
It has been quite a while since I've had a Windows uninstaller break my system. Do a lot of them leave turds? Yep. But at least they remove the bulk of the payload.

WTF.
