Windows is nothing but a nightmare. It's privacy invasive, uses too much resources, breaks 24 7, has a boring UI, limited customization, more susceptible to viruses than any other OS, etc...

People should just switch over to Linux IMO.

I'll just use the pirated versions with the malware ripped off of it, thank you. Tiny11 is a beauty to run already.

As much as I'd like a Linux rise from this, I think it's not unlikely Google will make a desktop OS (not the half done chrome OS.

They would probably shut it down after 2 years. Sooner if it was any good.
