Albeit rarely, and with the diversity of commodity hardware out there, I would say that Microsoft has done pretty well with updates.

(P.S. I despise Windows from a technical standpoint though)

This is a good point actually - with their walled garden approach, Apple has a much easier job with drivers than Windows or Linux have.

Of course, the end user may not care a jot, but it's an interesting point from a technical perspective.
