XP SP3 delayed!

Microsoft confirmed that it delayed the launch of XP SP3 and have stopped the automatic update of Vista to SP1 and XP to SP3. This all resulted from a problem with the update that will lead to data corruption due to incompatibilities with *drum roll* Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System, as reported here.
It seems Microsoft is unable of getting its own software from different divisions to play nice together, everything seems to be poorly designed and documented, which symbolize an even bigger problem, Microsoft seems to be spread too thin and can't get anything right from the first time, even when it is something they should of got it right!
It seems Microsoft is incapable of properly engineering its software, everything seems to be just mashed together and poorly documented. If there were better coordination between Microsoft's own divisions, this wouldn't of happened!
Microsoft needs to get its act together, before it is too late, its dominance might not last forever.
