I can sort of understand this sentiment. I question how much of that experience translates past 10 years or so. There is also the issue of windows simply being wildly unstable for me. I am also a long time windows user. Every 6 months or so my windows install destroys itself. I've never had this happen on my Mac & Linux has not failed me like this in over ten years. At this point, I only use windows to play games with old friends, and it still manages to self destruct with minimal software installed.
