While Windows is in a good place right now, its not great. I have been a Windows guy for a long time but for the past couple of years I have been waiting for the day when I can finally ditch it and move over to a pure nix platform. I want to do this because I understand nix, specifically have worked with Debian for a long time so I am aware of how good the base architecture of Unix-Like OSes are - its that good because it was well thought out from the early days. Being a .NET developer I am literally waiting for the moment when I can unshackle myself from Windows 10. Windows 10 is good, its about as good as we will get with the current bloated architecture and while I suspect the direction the OS will take is to become a VMlike app on a version of "windows-is-linux-not-bash" offering from Microsoft that day is a long way off. Its all the little things that destroy productivity and become major time sinks. Individually we could say they are related to whatever product is causing them but collectively they can seriously eff up your professional working day. MacBook's are great, hardware is where Apple really excels and no one can take away the great productivity to be had on the operating system which is based on the awesome BSD but the buy-in is ridiculously expensive. As someone said pound-for-pound we can get better offerings from other vendors which will soften the shitty experience on Windows however what you get with Apple is quality and you can confidently state that you will get a good experience (provided you get good enough Apple hardware). Here is where the problem is, the buy-in is expensive and then you are hurt even more when you realise you need to upgrade to get a better experience later down the line. Conversely we can argue that because the BSD-like OS requires less resources it operates much better for less hardware. I really do hope Windows becomes an "experience" on some BSD/Unix like OS that would open up a world of possibilities.
