Sounds like you have bought into the MS marketing hype. Haven't you figured out yet that MS releases intentionally "faulty" upgrades just so they can sell you the next generation and claim "imporovements". It is a never ending cycle. Furthermore, it is NOT because writing a stable operating system is so "difficult", it is just because they are a monopoly and can get away with it. The only way we will ever see real "improvements" in Windows is if a serious developer (with billions of dollars backing it) releases a competitive product and promotes the hell out of it. Till then we dance to Billy's tune, whether we like it or not.
