> In terms of out of the box stability and support? Yes, absolutely.

Support, maybe, if you equate support to "You bought a corporate license so you're entitled to talk to a human being with something more than a script and a mandate to act as a meat-shield."

Stability? That's a term with two different definitions: Doesn't crash, and stays the same over time, with no "breaking changes" even to the UI. Windows... kinda got better at the first, over time, and actively isn't interested in the second, given how much change its UIs have gone through. Remember how Windows 95 worked and acted? Want to replicate that on Windows 10? Remember COMMAND.COM? Is PowerShell a drop-in replacement? I'm not saying COMMAND.COM is better, I'm just saying your old batch files won't run if you only have PowerShell, innit? Ditto COM versus .Net versus... whatever they'll have in five years.

Meanwhile, I've been running WindowMaker on Linux with zsh for over a decade now.
