Windows is made as a product to be sold, that's means that any part of it is designed to maximize Microsoft and it's partners revenue, not for users. That's why anything is not integrated, incoherent etc.
And that's why GNU/Linux itself is far less integrated than classic desktops (Xerox, LispM), after Xerox starting from IBM, desktops was devastated to the point that from end-users desktops, flexible power tools in users hand are evolved into rigid and limited tools that try to conquer users absurdly mimicking physical desktops/classic office works (see General Magick UIs as a good example) instead of pushing a new far superior model.
The common ground is that most users do not want/fear changes, so they are easy conquered by those who sell miracles without paradigm changes, of course they regularly fails but since they captured users it's too late for them to escape. People who know something better for a reason or another suffer from the actual state of things, but that's is...
A social change is needed to change actual IT, it's not just a matter of code.
