I'd argue that Windows has actually gotten worse. The Bash on Windows thing is nice -- but Windows 10 has become such a huge pain. And obviously this is anecdotal. But I just have so many random problems with it. Things crashing, reboots whenever it wants to, constant slow downs for no apparent reason. I finally just installed Ubuntu on my laptop and I've been much happier.

I’ve had the opposite experience on my Surface Pro 4 and desktop. Everything is much more stable than on Windows 7, where I would often find myself needing to do manual maintenance after something like a power outage. On Windows 10, I haven’t had any huge problems. My Surface Pro 4 (and many others) were disasters on the first versions of Windows 10, but now it is stable.

  Things have definitely gotten _better_ for me (I still run Windows 10 on my Desktop). But I had to basically reinstall everything at one point. One tiny thing that drives me absolutely nuts: it used to be when the lock screen was showing, I could immediately start typing my password to login. Now there's this second or two delay, so the first few characters of my password don't get entered and I almost always "mistype" my password the first time I login. I don't know why, but this really bothers me.

    I thought I was the only one! Everyone I ever complained to has said they didn't have that problem. That alone is enough to make me quit using your software.

My win 10 machine bluescreens several times a week with different errors.

Weirdly I've had one noteable crash (that wasn't me messing with hardware) on windows since probably 7. However on my rMBP I get semi-regular blackscreen/beachball lockups & reboots - granted it's anecdotal, but my OSX experience has generally been worse than my windows one. Terminal, Trackpad, Keyboard (pre-butterfly), paw & sketch are the only positives I get from my MBP.
