These speed issues are annoying but the thing that kills my experience is the lost clicks - and when one is missed, because it's quite common that Windows is just being its usual useless self, you then don't know for sure if it really missed the click or not. Invariably the time you think "it did miss it, try again", you'll click again only to find that now your slow Windows machine is stupidly struggling to do the damn task twice! The other issue doesn't sit completely with Windows: in a corporate environment, there are numerous remote activities that get hooked up without much thought or care and it only takes an occasional slow response with one or two of them for Windows to become unusable.

that's one of the main reasons why i switched to linux. double clicking a file in windows to open it but it would activate file renaming instead. this was all on their surface book 2 which you would think would be fast enough but it used to happen quite a bit. ive been using windows since xp as well so its not like i don't know how to double click things. its something that only started happening a few years ago anyway, linux is great now. clicking only selects or opens a file, to rename you have to open the right click menu or press F2
