I could say that any OS is only as good as the user using it. So in this context when you ( or any one for that matter ) says that "Windows sucks". This tells me they do not understand how Windows works, or how to use it. Windows definitely is not without it's flaws, but which OS has none ? Hint: they all have flaws, and ALL can be rooted, work improperly, or generally be a pain in the backside if we do not take the time to learn how to use them properly. Then if we don't, does this mean the OS is at fault ? Windows works perfectly fine as a desktop, and in many cases as a workstation. Market share alone should speak volumes.But in the end it is just another closed source OS, that costs money, with millions of users that just want to use it, while not having to learn *how* it works. Your points of interest are also moot. If you know a potential issue exists, deal with it. Don't complain about it.
