Has been using Windows, Linux and BSD at the same time for almost two decades now. I use Windows for almost everything, Linux/BSD were really for exploring OS implementations, experiments etc.. Don't really want to mention Windows 9x/ME as I wasn't impressed at all, Windows NT5/2000, then Windows Server 2003/2008 were very stable and those perhaps the best releases of Windows IMO. At the same time, Linux/BSD might be more stable but the usability of the GUI was much worse. Linux/BSD get much better since then, especially Linux, I can almost do everything it need with it now. But Windows well, get much worse. Windows Vista required too much resource and I did not really use it much. Windows 7 was much better than Vista, but really I did not see much improvements from Windows 2000 excepts it looked better. Windows 8 was a step way too far by forcing user to change their habits for decades and also looked much uglier. Windows 10 basically is just Windows 8 adding back those visual elements removed from Windows 7. Worst problems with Windows 10 are not really trying to switching the UI to a new one but really not respecting the users at all and breaking existing functionality while replacements do not work at all. I seriously no idea what was their product managers were thinking by forcing restart to update without asking permission. My colleague's laptop restarted in the middle of a presentation to his boss and a whole bunch of other stakeholders as Windows 10 decided it's time to update and the estimated time to complete was over 2 hours as there were over 200 updates to install... The annoyance I personally found were Disk Manager GUI and diskpart utility broken at the same time; Both traditional GUI and so called modern UI to set IP Address/DNS server were broken at the same time. Have 32 GB of RAM and got BSOD because of out of memory for no reason etc. Almost every update, there would be surprise, not necessarily bad, but you just don't know what's going to work or break each time. Unfortunately there is still something I don't really have a replacement on Linux, or I would have ditched Windows now. If the current trend does not change, I will have to ditch it eventually, only a matter of sooner or later.
