And nothing of value was lost.

Seriously, their "Messenger" software was the most emblematic of this. If memory serves, the name of the program in chronological order is:

1. Windows Messenger

2. MSN Messenger

3. Live Messenger

4. Messenger

The constant needless iterations of the software - which was basically perfect around MSN Messenger - made it suck so much, because they wanted to cram social gunk into it, add toolbars, and revamp the interface for no goddamn reason that I would willfully give it up and shun digital contact with my friends, since I don't have a Facebook user.

This is why Windows users drink.
