How many more cases and years you need to finally admit that windows is a shitty platform?

Yes all platforms seen bad days and have their own issues.

But windows is different - most of its troubles come from human factor - low quality people making (or made 10 years ago) low quality decisions and every new iteration is just another layer of bad decisions aimed to cover the holes in previous layer.

You can see and feel it even un ui - there is no esthetics nor real usability and never was.



I have dealt with an apple upgrade that ignored free disk space and let users continue to upgrade eventually filling up the drive. This will happen with any company with humans that can make mistakes. And apple suffers from horrible ui issues also. Most users just tend to ignore them. On Macos, activate mission control and try to lock the screen with the keyboard shortcut.


Cherry picking specific examples doesn’t prove anything.

Overall windows ux is not even close to what apple have invested in their ecosystem. It’s not even apple to oranges comparison.

Even if there are few nice and handy features here and there.


Youre right. The the UX is comparing apples to oranges. But if I can't can't even do a basic secure thing like lock my screen, is it though...

Apples can still be compared to oranges.


Windows and macOS are both total shit.


For serious commercial servers - for sure, there is currently no alternative to linux


That's really my point.
