    As MS achieves wonderfulness by adding rounded icons and advertisements, one of their most used tools - windows explorer - continues to be trash. It's like it's just ignored with all the updates. One of my favorite "poorly implemented" features is search. Yes, I know there are better tools out there. So, I'm searching my dev drive for a particular file.... search is zipping along and displays file.zip. While the search is still running, I right mouse click on the file and select "open file location". And the search aborts - going to that file. Why not launch another WE and keep the search going? NAh. Fire up a search and change the sort order after completion - re-search. :doh:
