Have you tried to do heavy computing on an old windows? In my experience the multi-tasking under load is so bad that you can't really use the machine while it's busy.
And then you can also think about the security improvements.
- zozbot234 5y agoThe multitasking is just as bad on modern Windows, tbh. Given reasonably up-to-date hardware, a lightweight Linux install really can be as snappy as Windows 2000 was back in the day, and that's with a lot of security and usability improvements.

- VortexDream 5y agoI genuinely don't think modern OS's are any better at multitasking with heavy loads. Particularly Linux and Windows are terrible at heavy mtitasking loads, at least as a software developer working with both environments. I also don't see why the security improvements lead to such a massive decrease in performance.
