Yes, unfortunately it didn't allow me to run Windows software (ex. design, video, 3d modelling or audio software, games, office, etc.), because Cinnamon is a Desktop Environment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Personally I prefer MATE since it's a fork of the good old GNOME 2, but I don't use a DE in my servers, so having SSH (installed by Git for Windows) is enough to connect to them. I also install GnuWin32[1] to avoid getting the `'%s' is not recognized` error whenever I'm using the console and I type by muscle memory some basic commands like ls, or pwd, or grep, and ConEmu[2] with Clink[3] to remove several annoyances of the Windows Command Line. Having a "good enough" UNIX terminal like OS X is something I'm waiting to see in the next iterations of Windows.

Don't patronize all the people who prefer Windows like a freshman who drank the Linux cool-aid for the first time, most of us need to exchange files with people from different areas. The need to use Photoshop, Word or Illustrator over GIMP, Writer or Inkscape is not a matter of preference, but a matter of being productive by not troubleshooting issues that arise due to the lack of popularity of FOSS alternatives, to give an example: Try to open a .docx and a .odt attachment in Gmail for Android without an Office app, you'll get really surprised and disappointed at the same time ;)
