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!
