Welcome to Windows, where putting up with unfixed problems is part of life.

If it won't sell more licenses and Microsoft believes that they won't 
get sued over it, it is ignored. Even if it is a serious problem for 
you, there is nothing that you can do about it.

Welcome to Linux, where being able to fix the problems, makes life so 
much better.
