Using Windows at work, and Fedora at home, the font rendering on Windows always drives me crazy. My monitor at work is kind of awful, but the font rendering just doesn't have to be as bad as it is.
Exactly. BTW It is not the fonts makes me crazy. It is much broader than that. It is culture behind it. Lock people up, then you have freedom to what do you want to do.

If there was a serious competitor in desktop they wouldn't dare to ignore their current user in pursue of new users.

There's nothing dealbreaking about the platform for me, well there's hardly even anything nagging about it.
