Generally, you have a hundred different companies writing software that doesn't always equal a hundred different companies writing software to co-exist peacefully on one system.

This is usually resolved with updates, which generally consist of bug fixes accounting for most of the above. But then again, many times, bug fixes introduce more bugs. This is something I'm intimately aware of, having worked at a software company the last two years. It's hilarious.
