Microsoft Product

Any product that is poorly designed, easy to hack, bloated, annoying to use, laggy, full of unwanted features, or prone to frequent malfunction.

Not always necessarily a Microsoft product or even any kind of software.
“Sorry I’ll be a little late to the meeting, Teams is being a Microsoft product again.”

“That new game I got off Steam last month crashed five times while I was trying to play it. What a Microsoft product.”

“My new bike’s frame has already started to bend and break like the Microsoft product it is.”

→ “Oh damn… they’re about to get Microsofted.”

“Apple’s gatekeeping USB-C till the EU forced ‘em.”

Microstream

Microstream noun
A passionate, dedicated fanbase that sustains content through community devotion, operating independently of mainstream approval. Microstreams can form around films that were commercially successful but critically dismissed, critically acclaimed but commercially ignored, or works that resonated deeply with specific communities, regardless of broader reception. These audiences value and celebrate content based on their own cultural experiences and tastes rather than dominant cultural gatekeepers.
Both "I Like It Like That" (authentic Latino experiences valued by community regardless of critics) and "The Lost Boys'"(mainstream hit with lasting fan devotion) have thriving microstreams that keep them culturally alive decades later.
