Microsoft listening! I know. You were kidding.

I did find this in the article worth sighting:

"The key, according to Childs, is transparency and clarity, rather than obfuscation by design. And when things go wrong, companies should speak up and offer workarounds."

As Blackbird said, "Microsoft, are you listening?"
