Even Bill Gates sometimes hates Microsoft’s products

Check out this 2003 email from Bill Gates.  It came as part of turned over material from the Microsoft antitrust suits.

My favorite part:

“So I gave up and sent mail to Amir saying - where is this Moviemaker download? Does it exist?  So they told me that using the download page to download something was not something they anticipated.”

I though that last line doesn’t end with “You all should be fired for this.”  It’s good, though, that usability and quality are paid attention to by even the “top man” at the software giant.

Anyway, hit up the read link after the break of this great memo that gives a little more insight into Bill Gates’ personality and management style.
