Avoiding mention that the "dialog" is actually a "window", or the fact that people don't just blindly dismiss message boxes, I don't think I could name one person who would be happy to be "treated" to such an "improvement".
Has he taken on a major role in ms development, since then? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

I have found even better ideas, like having to answer three multiple choice questions about the message correctly to get the message box closed.
Message boxes are ok, but only if they have something really important to bring to the user's attention. Everything else is just annoying and should be shot down like the Klingon battlecruiser, right when it decloaks and before it can raise its shields. The simplest way to avoid the entire problem is to earn the user's trust that any interruption will be important.

Just because they are suggesting we move away from a technology does not mean they have to have done it everywhere first, does it?

The rams always get thrown out for starting fights; they keep telling patrons to butt out.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

No, this is Canada.
And may I remind all those who persist in using middle-endian date formats that the only countries that use this format are American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, United States and their Minor Outlying Islands and the United States Virgin Islands.
