Yeah, no thanks. Last time I tried using it I was severely unimpressed. Basic things like viewing photos and previewing downloaded songs is so much more obtuse in Windows than on OS X, not to mention all the snooping Microsoft does. Explorer would even crash trying to generate a thumbnail for a corrupt photo that I wanted to delete.. so I popped the SD card into my Mac to delete it

Yep, and it's so slow. On my new desktop rig (2017, $3,5k worth of hardware) it's ridiculously slow. Opening a exporer, wait 2 seconds. Open a network drive, it might open, if you're lucky. Even mundane things like opening Adobe software or Office takes noticeably longer than on my 2014 Macbook Pro. And it's not the hardware, geekbench is in expected territory, AIDA64 benches fine. It's just somehow, slow. Feels slow, at least. And then there's the visual inconsistencies. Open the details on a network view and EVERY TAB has a different UI style (one of them going back to the early 2000's) I find that inexcusable. But hey, games, they run fine.
