I'm probably take your post a bit out of context, but...
Knowledgeable users of window's various operating systems know not to use all the bundled software / tools, because, well, some of them suck.
Take for example the Search facility in Windows 7. The interface is fundamentally flawed. And MS has never bothered to fix it. Rather than deal with what is at heart a bad utility, I install a third-party tool. Windows is well supported by 3rd-party software.
And does anybody who knows what they're doing use IE? I don't mean to be condescending by that, but I personally have found it's so much easier to install Firefox or Chrome than deal with IE which kept crashing. MS are great and not fixing flaws but still they succeed. I guess part of the cause is simple product lock-in.
