Microsoft Win/Fail #1
I might do a series of these. I will post two things Microsoft has done, one which is smart, one which is dumb. Just to prove I don't rag on everything they do.
Win: XBox 360 controllers show what player you are with a lit quarter-circle on the controller. These map to your screen's position in 4-player split-screen. Brilliant engineering. (really, no sarcasm - this is way smarter than the PS3's 4 lights in a row)
Fail: Windows 7 still allows you to resize a window by grabbing the top of the title bar. That's what I grab when I want to move a window, not resize it. Many of my grab/drags to move windows end up resizing them. Then I have to resize it where I wanted it, then re-attempt the move.
