The problem with windows is
 [1] Management - constantly making wrong decisions, deliberately
breaking bridges in software/APIs for their "commercial advantage" and
the rest of the typical corporate idiocy. Microsoft Management is
filled with people who have
   - never self-funded and run a profitable business on their own
   - never produced a profitable consumerable in the free market

Features, functionality and robustness always come after marketing and
politics and this is a sign that the company is on its way out.

 [2] User interface design needs to accomodate the entire spectrum of
computer users from idiots to experts, old to young, culture, race,
etc. As a result, the UI designed to fit everybody in reality fits
nobody. It is inefficient, etc.

 [3] Backwards compatibility - rather than dismiss the old and start
new, windows always carries the bad design principles through into new
version to support older software. They could've taken a
virtualization path as Apple have done in their OS, but idiot
management led by idiot Balmer decided that would be too easy,
profitable and make too much sense for them, so they support the
archaic APIs and software concepts in newer versions XP/Vista, etc
(and it looks like Windows 7 will still carry the same design).

That being said, Linux is worse (much worse).
