As are a lot of MS products.

Than what? How do you measure crappiness?

It's natural to say that about the software products you use. I've said that
about *all* software vendors I dealt with. The fact that MS singles out in
your mind only means that you have used more MS products than other vendors,
nothing more.

Software development isn't easy, unless you are a one trick pony, don't have
an installed customer base, have interoperability requirements, need to
support users, have to respect backwards compatibility, respond to user
demands... etc.
