> Nah, Windows is a trash OS and it seems like the only people who use it are people who are forced to because of program compatibility.

I was on linux for 10+ years, and I switched to Windows after they released 10 because I was truly happy with it after trying the tech preview. The program compatibility is just a bonus. Almost all of my family uses Windows over OS X because they can't stand the weird ass intentionally hobbled UI of OSX.

Excuse me, but if there is a "weird ass intentionally hobbled UI" then that's the windows UI. ms was never able to create a proper DE.

I disagree, my point remains that many people have different preferences than you in what they want from an OS, and many people do legitimately prefer Windows over OS X (or linux, but most people don't really know that's an option.)

No, it's OS X. For example - go and open any window from a "menu bar application" such as BetterTouchTool's settings window.

Now try switching to that window with they keyboard in OS X, without using any 3rd party helpers like HyperSwitch.

You can't do it.

Also try running 2 instances of the same app in OS X. You also can't do that.

OS X is garbage compared to Windows.
