It's simple -- greed.
microsoft could not survive if they produced quality software. Defective 
software is their foundation.  Stable systems that just work present no 
incentive for the great unwashed ...err.. un-informed masses to pay 
upgrade money for the "newest, latest *IMPROVED*" (yet still defective) 
  version.  As better, competing software becomes available at a lower 
price or free, microsoft will begin to die or be forced to adapt.  All 
they know how to produce is crap and they have become too big to change.
Be patient, cheer up, look at the signs(follow the money), the days of 
the beast are numbered.
