There are tons of projects and products and teams that are a thousand times more soulcrushing than Windows. MSN? The Phone Team? Retail? The Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform project?

my experience working on cash cow projects is that the vindication feeling of not being a cost center doesn't quite make up for the fact that all the money your work makes gets thrown on whatever garbage fire market trend management is hyped about while you can't hire anybody to shore up the growing list of defects while also continuing to add new features that same garbage fire department keeps demanding
