        Is not or may not be?

        If a particular OS is of bad quality, and moreover if it participates in a culture of low quality, chances are it will have bad performing parts and components one depends on will be badly implemented. It will even tend to have lower quality sysadmins with bad information -- specially if it's a black box.

        OK, but that does not preclude the possibility of a specific application depending on something that was badly implemented in a particular OS. And if that particular OS already makes part in a low-quality culture, the chances of hitting particularly badly implemented components in the platform is quite high.
