so Joe and Jane public can be the beta testers for their software,
there are so many combinations of computer out there that MS can not do the test for every combination of computers, So Joe and Jane public do the testing for them and when they come across a bug then it is reported so the MS can sort out the bugs
by the way they still have not sorted XP thats still got bugs in it and it has been out 7 years
in the mean time MS are stocking up their bank accounts with the money Joe and Jane public have paid for the software,,,
So do not support MS move over to Linux it is free and so is all the software you will ever need .. do some Research into LINUX,
try the websites below

You'll have to ask Bill Gates that question.
I think Dru D is right. I heard IE 7 was released early to compete with Firefox and I believe it.

Because it's Microsoft and that's what they do. They want you to find all the problems for them. I deal with it at work... have a Mac at home.

So they can earn more big bucks earlier. Patches and service packs can always come later.
