Windows certainly has a bad reputation, but it's generally not deserved.
Maybe from your POV, but from mine, Windows bad reputation is very deserved. IMO, it is bloated crapware that can slow down even the best systems. It's only redeeming features are that it runs on just about anything, and there are some applications that can only be run on a Windows system and nothing else.
With all this power we have with today's CPU's and video cards, you would think that the response of the latest version of Windows should be instantaneous, but it does not seem to be much better (if any) on my i7 laptop, or i5 desktop, than Windows 97 was on Pentium class hardware. I am talking about the responsiveness of the Windows desktop and sub-windows. Multi-tasking still is not as smooth as it was on my 7MHz A1000 in 1987, though it has improved a little bit from the early days of multi-tasking on Windows systems.
My two Windows PC's aren't the fastest available, but they are faster than the average PC's out there and both have good discrete video cards, so again IMO, they should perform much better than they do. If I didn't need Windows to run a couple of applications that I can't get on Linux or MacOSX, I would never run any Windows OS, and I would convert both systems into Hackintosh's, or one into a Hackintosh and the other into a very lightweight and fast Linux distro.
@TeamBlackFox,
I agree that none of the Amiga or Amiga inspired platforms are satisfactory for my needs as a daily system. Security being the main reason I would not use an Amiga or Amiga inspired system for all of my daily needs.
