How many customers would assume (a) C++ runtime error was a Windows problem? Or would blame a slow machine on spurious Vista performance issues, when it's every bit as likely to be caused by unnecessary and unwanted software running on the background, because the ISV has paid the OEM to include it on new machine builds..?
Maybe Microsoft should get into building PC hardware, and at least will have soup-to-nuts control over the hardware and software experience.

Well, I think this is why many people have issues with Windows, and one reason that Mac's don't have that much problems.
