I just read about the MS usability fame here[^]
Well done! I guess it's a typical Microsoft thing. Though there's been a lot of improvements in recent times with OS & Cloud, Their billing system for Azure totally sucks.
1. There are a dozen places where you can check your current usage/cost and all of them are inconsistent. Their whole terminology of Billing Cycle dates, Bill generation date, Due dates Totally confusing stuff. (I mean on their Portal UI & their own executives confuse it so much)
Only on the final invoice it'll be readable.
2. You CANNOT know when they are processing your payment. There's been payment failures several times, from THEIR side. It's their own problem, it's not with our card/ bank account.
3. You CANNOT know if the current months payment has been successfully processed or not. 
4. You can only know if payment failed. You'll get notification through email But not for successful processing.
5. You CANNOT make payments on your own, like swiping your card by yourself to clear the bills.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I wish I get to meet someone from their side, to land a couple of punches straight on his face.

Was there not some relation between peripheral vision and intelligence? I'm sure you do fine.

Put Fedora up there and I still won't be interested.

I guess it's cool, right?

So how long until ms puts out an "improved" proprietary broken version?

IE/Edge, the best browser to download another browser.
Windows, the best OS to download another OS?
What's next, use .NET to download Java?
MS Office to download LibreOffice?
SQL Server to download Oracle?

Well, they can run Windows on Linux (Wine), so Nadella must have thought: Then we must run Linux on Windows ....
I really like the way that man thinks: If we make sure they don't need our products anymore, then we win! Just like Windows mobile: You can program it with .Net compact Silverlight WPF Metro Modern UI never mind, here is Xamarin, so you can build for anything but Windows mobile.- Hey why is nobody using Windows mobile anymore?
With a CEO like that, you don't need enemies.

You'd still be using a Microsoft product so it'll at least freeze your computer

Honestly, it reduces friction for me since I can use the same CLI on a client as on any given server, with a better command structure to boot. Why Ubuntu rather than just a BASH for Windows, though, I cannot say. That bit annoys me.
