And windows basically sucks, in no small part due to the historical baggage it must carry. That and it’s not nix

That's a very narrow view.

Supporting historical baggage is why a lot of business people trust Windows.

Eg. You can still run VB 6 applications :p

True, but an operating system should be a solid foundation to build on, not quicksand.

We now have a situation where a well designed and complete 5 year old application will arbitrarily stop working because someone made an 'improvement' to the OS.
