Re: When will Microsoft fix its wrong headings in WM5 Calendar?

LOL, my guess is you never use the soft buttons. That "heading" is actually
the heading for the soft button below it. If you are in day view, the soft
button will allow you to switch to week view (thus it says week when you are
in day mode), and when you are in Week view, it allows you to switch to
month view, without having to tap menu/view/month. Unless there is a
different header you are referring to.

In Calendar, when you tap:

- Menu - View - Day, the hours of a single day are listed, but the
status bar says "Week".

- When you select the Week view, the whole week appears and the stupid
thing says "Month".

- When you select View - Month, the entire month displays but it says
"Year".

- When you select Year, it says "Agenda". (How does an "Agenda"
inherently denote a year's interval?)

It is 2006, and we are still literally in the Dark Ages of computing.
No one cares to try to get a handle on making even the tiniest sister
objects within a single application consistent with each other. The
track record of the largest software company in the world shows that it
will never do it.

Hey, here's a suggestion: Why doesn't Microsoft launch Mobile Excel
when you tap, say "Word"? Or remap some more logic threads thruout the
OS? RANDOM logic just might be better than what Windows offers.

Or, on desktops, why not require users to click "Start" to shut down
their PC?

Or, how about creating an excellent set of GUI paradigms, such as a
standard caption line at the top of all apps--only to break that
paradigm and omit any identification for the most important screen in
all of Windows--the Desktop?

Because, friends, when I first started learning Windows 95, it
literally took me an HOUR OR TWO to find the wretched "Desktop".

How long do you suppose people would continue buying General Motors
cars if its dashboard displays didn't reflect reality? Or if you had to
turn the ignition key to START to turn the car off?

I've been saying this for 2 decades: Microsoft (and to be fair, most
software companies) has zero interest in fixing mistakes.

They only have the resources, the desire, and the capability to add new
features; beef up the glitz in the interface; expand entertainment; and
increase, not reduce, the prodigious amount of technical knowledge you
need merely to operate a home computer.

I KNOW I could be a millionaire, because I'm convinced I'm the one
person who could turn Microsoft around, don'tcha know. I'll let y'all
know when my IPO is ready...
