Because Windows is not a serious system. It's a point and click, wizard next-next-next system. It's pretty bad at most tasks except gaming.

What about the non serious OSX UI with that bouncing effects and click-click-click and hidden in the topbar menu controls?

  I would never use Mac for running important jobs. It's a good developer machine but has no chance as a server system.

> Because Windows is not a serious system. The guy from the article is still in the honeymoon phase. Wait until he tries to move all his files from one disk to another, zipping them to a pendrive in batches, and restoring them on his shiny new system. And doing this in a multi-tasking way as this is time-consuming. Simple task? When he is done, when trying to open a file, he will find the destination folder is full of corrupted files. Stunned? This was true 15 years ago, and as recent as 2 months ago (on a range of distros, last one Ubuntu). How serious a system is that? I'd say it disqualifies the system for all uses. Regardless, as a desktop foundation Linux is a dream that had a place in time. Permissions, usernames, Posix filetimes and C itself are all non-starters in this era. They bog down trivial tasks, but also development and distribution, to the point of provoking a survivors-bias so bad that those survivors will die blind, swearing the OS is sliced bread and that all of humanity missed out. Bash is their unsung hero. Don't listen. It's poison our community is full of. The Linux folks just want more help to put out all the fires, and, if need be, fool you into believing their gospel. Reality is: heaven will never come to pass. Linux hurts more than it gives back. It's a brain drain. It's time to die. Please die.
