Agreed. The Windows kernal is actually very good; its just everything else 
piled ontop thats crap. The registry and DLL management are a constant 
disaster.

I had the same problem with OS/2 in the end before I switched to Windows 2000,
it was problems with drivers, drivers, drivers.

I'm not sure I agree here because Microsoft hasn't made that much money with
Windows as they used to these days. People use computers much differently 
now... no more buying and installing software; people just go online and 
use whatever social or cloud services. Most people can pick up a cheap
Chromebook and be happy with it. Microsoft knows this and isn't stupid.

The real moneymaker for them is Office 365 and Server/Enterprise products 
which have mostly been good. They pretty much wrote off the phone business.
