And some Windows drivers for HP deskjet are written in a way that makes the scanner/printer work only with a single USB port (first one it was ever used with?), whereas the same device on the same computer works with any USB port. This is in addition to the wait anytime you plug in a random USB device and Windows decides it has to do "enrollment". It's not what I'd call user friendly. This may all be a little rant, but on top of everything, Windows usually does much more I/O for the same action vs Linux. With or without antivirus overhead.
