Long ago I preferred Windows as a sort of "it's good enough and i can just minimize the UI and it runs". I didn't have to bother with it much.

After a while updates and prompts for upgrades and 20 kinds of UI/UX across ever changing control panels / file managers, and my cheese getting moved here and there .... I gave up and decided if I'm going to get my cheese moved I may as well try a mac.

I've been happy and never looked back.
