It seems that the anti windows crowd (which you are a card carrying member of) hang out with each other so it seems their community is bigger than it really is. I really don't see Windows as buggy or unstable, sure back in the Windows 3.1/95/98 days. You are digging back very deep to find that.
Vista was a fine OS, and is still the technical basis of Windows 7, which the majority of reviews/press tout as the best version of Windows ever. Sure, Vista did have it's issues. The two biggest, UAC was much too paranoid, and the new driver model and signing requirement kept people from being able to use equipment they already had and hardware vendors rushed fresh untested drivers on the public.

Back to iOS 7... I am sure it will be refined as time goes by. They have already made changes/tweeks based on feedback and I'm sure they will continue. Personally, I like the (what someone class a fad) flat style, although I do think the "buttons" and "links" do need to be more clearly delineated. Eliminating skeumorphism doesn't have to be 100%. They will adjust it I'm sure.
