So I haven't used Windows in a while, but the thing that kicks me back to Linux (1st choice) or OS X (2nd choice) every single time was file locking.
I think the majority of windows software opens files with an exclusive lock, making it really annoying to use, e.g. you can't delete a dir if anything in its subdir is open for whatever reason.
With the amount of software running on a system nowadays, and things like windows update, nothing bothers me more than having files locked in Windows for whatever reason and forcing me to update.
I've also never had a good experience with Windows Update (it fails all the time)
