I rarely have any problems with Windows but this is exactly the reason I root for Microsoft to "lose" in the desktop space. They'll only improve when they're facing some real market pressure.

Also, I think having so many manufacturers makes things worse. Other than hardware specs, there really is veryt little to differentiate feature-wise between different PCs. Android is starting to run into this problem as well. The "customizations" and "improvements" aka bloated buggy shit layered on top of the vanilla OS completely messes up the user experience.
