So one of the main good aspects of Windows is that it can run Linux :) ?

  Linux and office. Other than that, what does it really offer?

  If edge is the browser you use for downloading Chrome, maybe Windows is the OS you use to get and install Linux? I feel sorry for people who's employers mandate Windows or are dependent on some Windows only critical software. I know its not everyones cup of tea but its really nice over here in MacBook land. If you're not somehow held hostage on Windows, maybe drop by a store sometime and give OSX a roll? I haven't been forced to run Windows in about 10 years and I haven't missed it one single time. Im not at all opposed to Linux either but I can run a real shell on OSX and all my scripts.sh run just the same locally as they do on my cloud Linux deployments - and thats enough for me personally.

    From one anti-consumer, anti-choice overlord to another? Yeah... I'll stick to open source, thanks.

    Use edge to download Firefox ;)

    To be fair, if you haven't used Windows at all in over a decade, you probably no longer have an informed view about it.

  Indeed. Although to their defense Powershell is pretty decent as well, it just isn't as widely spread and not as universal as bash. Don't know if it conforms with posix, but that is doubtful. Still as solid tool. But all that doesn't help if the OS gets trashed by bad project leads and Microsoft seems to employ a lot of those. Their technical mistakes are dwarfed by their strategic ones. And companies being locked into their environment providing a record income probably don't help with Microsoft really trying to be competitive instead of milking users as much as possible.
