Actually, that's not true. Wireless on Windows 8--depending on machine configuration--can be abysmal. My wife and I both own high-end HP machines, and the wireless chips in them haven't been worth shit. Apparently an update coming as part of Windows 8.1 will remedy a lot of the wireless issues people have been having, but really? Even a big corporation for whom this stuff is their bread-and-butter can't get it right. Hopefully 8.1 does resolve our issues: constant disconnects--in spite of our Android tablets and phones continuing to stay connected and enjoy solid unflagging bandwidth, and having to disable and then re-enable the chip to get it to see the wireless network again and reconnect. That said, I'm not holding my breath. In my experience, I'd say Linux has recently become better than Windows in a lot of ways, and Mac OS is even better. On the other hand, with Mac OS you get applications which crash all the time (even if the OS doesn't). So pick your poison...
