I think the problem lies in the fact that Microsoft has always had the best and brightest geeks in the past. And they had some great new ideas about how to do things (and I think most of them were obsessed with speed, other than Dave Cutler).
Well, they've learned now where they were wrong *cough* centralized setting storage in a binary format, disparate monolithic architectures like explorer *cough*. But they have to stay compatible...
Where other OS's have built off the successes of the past. Sometimes imitation really isn't a bad thing... You simply can't innovate everything, you're bound to mess up something; so you might as well innovate what you know and imitate what you don't.
