In Windows 10, they actually reverted to a Windows 7 style of desktop and start menu, with a more traditional layout versus the controversial and new style Windows 8 layout due to the large amount of customer complaints because people could in fact, not get use to the design. Windows 8 has since not been looked at very fondly in history, and likely never will.
Great post and analogy. Also, very important to point out that that no point did Microsoft shame, criticize, insult, and make derogatory comments abouy certain groups of people. In addition, Microsoft is known to have a much more diverse and inclusive environment which is in stark contrast to the current culture at BMW which has very publicly gotten rid of many of their minorities and hired a bigoted designer.

But I guess that doesn't matter to some people.
