That's terrible, I thought that Microsoft had a somewhat better QA program. Though to be fair that is not what i would call wiping out the system drive, because you are still able to boot into Windows and similar things do happen on other operating systems.

They did. In 2014, they eliminated their extensive and effective separate testing positions as part of a large layoff/restructuring. Supposedly, testing was going to be consolidated in engineering, and not eliminated, but the proof is in the pudding: Windows releases since then have had big problems that feel like they should have been caught and fixed before release.
