Maybe Windows 8 will prove to be better than all the prior releases but they are starting to get some tough competition arriving nowdays.

I think you being a bit harsh on Microsoft
Windows 7 was not full of bugs - I had no problems with it from day one. Even the much abused Vista wss stable from the get go.
Multi tasking on pre-NT (windows 3.x, windows 95 etc...) windows sucked, thats for sure, no argument there, but It largely sucked on other OS's as well - MAC OS 7/8/9, Amiga etc...
OS/2 was great, but no one used it
