+1 on that score.
I wish they'd simply start fixing the bugs instead of painting more bling onto the same turd! And MS is definitely not the only company who does these things ... one which I find does so even worse is AutoDesk. See for example this silly bug:

It's when one file is linked into another (referred to as a XRef - External Reference). Then the linked in file is changed a pop-up notice informs you that it needs reloading. In order to do this it polls the file every now and again to check on the file date (in itself that's already bad - there's less CPU/IO intensive ways to waste time). But worse, while doing this it attempts to read some non-existent registry key (which causes slowdowns of its own). And this was noted at least 3 versions ago, yet no fix, not even just adding the non-existent registry key so that part goes a bit faster.
See what I mean? Even if there's a clear stop-gap fix which would only take a few seconds to employ - nope, they WONT DO IT!
