No it's not, it's a natural consequence of everything that is known about
the psychology of computer programming. Microsoft developers, just like the
rest of us, face a continuous struggle between their creative urge to do
new, exciting, and useful things, and the requirements coming from their
paymasters (users, customers, marketing and business strategy people) to do
boring things like conforming to standards and retaining forwards
compatibility. The software that comes out tells you precisely the extent to
which these two opposing forces were balanced in the management culture of
the organisation.
