That's what we get for having large corporations.

What is the (real) problem though? Everything has been known for months.

Some people didn't want to touch this because the software wasn't officially released. Now it is, and the problems remain. The same people seems like they don't want to believe this, but denial doesn't help. With a large corporation, like Microsoft, some problems are not engineering problems that we perhaps can understand. There will also be seemingly irrational things like showing a preview of a product called "15", then stamping the box with "2017", while the engineers versioned it v141. I haved worked for such organisations too. Shit happens! Bo Persson
