I have read that many of Microsoft's patches are very late getting to us. It almost defeats the whole purpose of updates.

Its better if there was a vulnerability an immediate patch was required unlike they will collect the patches and release them every Tuesday.

No.1 Search :The Bing search is indeed a weak point but not because it's a bad product but because Google is making such a great job.
No.2 Browser : Internet Explorer.... The 9th version is actually pretty good.....The Smart Screen feature offers the best protection a user can get from any browser.Arguably their are a few downsides for IE 9, but for the average user IE 9 should be a good option.
No. 3 Mobile phones The Windows Phone is pretty new on the market...... Didn't Microsoft team up with Nokia in order to develop their phone??
No. 4 The desktop I can't agree with that , unlike the competition ( MAC OS X or the Linux builds ) Windows is a good,easy to use and reliable operating system.
No. 5 Web Server The only really problem for Windows would be on the web servers but that can be easily explained by the fact that companies love the FREE linux web server.


Microsoft it's a really big company so it's normal to have a product for each niche and lets not forget that Apple had its share of bad products:p

@ZOU1:
Patching vulnerabilities is a useless and endless battle. There are always going to be vulnerabilities out there and often a patch can cause other vulnerabilities to emerge.

What Microsoft needs to do is to always assume that they will be exploited and then work to protect the user even if they do have malware/ exploits present.
