We could start with the one that MS code is notably buggy :)

As far as I know most of the bread-and-butter consumer visible stuff is still mostly c++ (e.g. office suite, windows, etc.). I imagine there is a bunch of C# in Azure etc.

I could easily be wrong, been a while since I've spent much time with anyone working there. But these things have momentum and clean rewrites usually fail.

I've had bad experiences and reliability issues with some of their software. For example: OneDrive for Windows, Teams, Azure AD, Windows Bluetooth Stack, Azure Functions, Azure SQL Database.

All of those are mostly ok, but we encounter reliability issues on a more frequent basis than software from other vendors, like Amazon and Google.

FWIW I wouldn't hold them up as a beacon of good practices either, but I've found them about average for issues, perhaps a bit better than average for response & docs.
