They're not stupid, but, working as a team, they do manage to produce
prodigious amounts of very bad code. After a decade of effort, they
still seem incapable of preventing buffer overflow exploits, and every
generation of Windows runs slower and is more difficult to maintain.

I've seen a bit of the Windows source code, and it's a mess. Windows
is simply bad programming.
