It's this "endlessly fixing bugs" that is what is causing the "blocking of the evolution in IT".

Man, parsing that hurt my brain.
It hardly seems fair to say that the Evolution of MS products is because of bugs. Linux has evolved too. When I got into linux you got a command line and that was it.
Hardware evolves too. Is the Pentium 4 in exitance because of bugs in the 8088?
You seem to discount the concept of the natural progression of human technology, seemingly suggesting that, were it not for ulterior motives Adam and Eve would have progressed instantly to Astronauts or Gods.
Windows is a fundamentally flawed code base, which in spite of all its faults, is the most economically successful (for MS) OS ever developed, and the most costly (for users) OS ever marketed.
But bugs are not intentional.
