It's not the past while programmers keep it alive! Worst mistake MSFT made
was making Word SDI.
Microsoft's usability research strongly disagrees with your assertion.
I disagree with most of their usability 'research' and often wonder who
they speak to, e.g.:
Arranging windows on a multi monitor setup when Word has 6 windows open
instead of only 1 creates a chaotic mess.
Introducing a ribbon that reduces usable screen height when modern
monitors are getting shorter
Opening a DVD drive if you accidentally click on it in Explorer (in Vista)
when it's empty - do none of their usability researchers know that many
PC's have doors on them? I wonder how many drives have burnt out because
of that stupid behaviour.
MSFT need to speak to some real users.
