Well, it's hard to design and optimize properly when marketing is adding features left and right. Also, writing an OS for a new processor does not help either. Adding in a separate video card towards the end of the process compounded to their woes. compilers don't get good at optimizing until the 3rd or 4th iteration.
These things combined to make a bloated OS (MS had none of these problems). Fact that it's not reporting crashes in major fashions in thousands of ways is a testament to engineering and QA
