This presentation on MS Office workflow design by Jensen Harris gives some insights into the remarkably thoughtful analysis and design behind commercial software. It describes all the frustrations I feel about MS Office in more detail than I could imagine.
It is interesting that the developers in large companies know so much about the irritation caused by their employers' products. I hope that indicates that future products will have fewer of these problems.
