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.
Didn't you say before that Windows was the only "modern" OS you were using? Don't get me wrong, but I think you're lacking experience with another OS to truly be aware of what people consider "quick". That aside, other OS' run considerably better on much less recent hardware. My 14 year old office laptop running GNUStep is as snappy as my colleague's 1 year old Windows 8.1 laptop with a Samsung SSD and 32 times the RAM.
