If you are interested in crashing software projects, be prepared to invest some time:

The saddest part, as we all know, is that management gets golden handshakes while the developers get the blame (and mental issues)

I had a "trouble shooter" CEO come in to a company I was managing at. Part of our management incentive was an annual retention bonus. The company was in trouble due to insane management decisions (and likely fraudulent activity at HQ), but the retention bonus helped keep the churn down. Now we all knew that he had a $5 million bonus waiting if he made it two years and that SOB had the nerve to cancel the retention bonus explaining "no one should get a bonus for showing up to work."
That was a very quiet management meeting - I think we were all waiting to see if a) he was joking or b) lightning would strike. lol

Both these designs suck big time, especially the Mac, but it only has a slight edge in ugliness over the Windows 10 one! The Windows XP calculator is way better than either of them (or even the Windows 7 one).

I do not wonder which OS was your first. 
The original Mac team was literally bound by the hardware of the day and came out with that.
It's just odd that we now have advanced H/W and we get the design we see on win10.

My first few OSes were mainframes.

I was just joking. And, I agree with you, the XP Calculator is really the best looking one.

This has inspired me.
My company policy does not allow me to install any third party software not passed by the security group - a process that takes months. However, since I am allowed to run self-written programs, I going to write my own WinForm version with all the functions I want on it, none that I don't, and styled the way I want it!

And that right there is the reason Microsoft rules the Software world. They made it easier than ever to "fix" your frustrations by allowing you to write something better. If Apple had not been so locked down, they might have overcome Microsoft.

Strange. My frustrations diminish when I throw Mickeysoft out the door.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

You've proven that your opinion on this matter is overly biased and not clearly thought out.

I don't doctor around with the symptoms and simply remove the source of my frustration. A thing you obviously do not know how to do, or you would know that this is an inherently biased matter. Otherwise there would be no need for an exorcism.

Microsoft products work great for me. Why can't you use them correctly?

Because 'correctly' in their case means being treated like their personal nigger with the privilege of handing them some money for the honor. Or short: I don't think their stuff is worth it anymore.

Now don't be so shocked. What you think of their products or their quality is a thing we could probably discuss to no end, but their behavior is not excusable. They grin and say 'take it or leave it'. If they put it that way, then I always leave it.

Their behavior has never messed me up. Again, why are you doing everything wrong?
