reliable and be easy to use too.

This is one of the factors that limit technology I think. I am not sure if things can be BOTH.

Take Unix for example. Once it is running it is stable as stable can be, but I would not want to have to be the one to get it running, nor would I want to have to use it on my desktop.

In my opinion, one of the reasons that Windows has the level of stability that it does is that it is layer upon layer of things that are meant to make it easy to USE.
