I'm not sure that there is anyone else in existence who considers  
customer satisfaction to come under the rubric of QC.  Though good QC  
can contribute to good CS.

But, really, if you think that Vista's backwards compatibility is the  
bomb, and an indication of a company that really cares about its  
users, why are you using the Macintosh instead of Windows?  Why not  
switch to Vista and report back to us how great it is and how well  
Microsoft is treating you?

Though I'm not sure that even other Windows users will agree with  
you.  Just check out any issue of PCWorld.
