Unfortunately, I feel like I have just as many problems on Windows as I do on Linux these days.

Yes I have never heard of Windows described as a "just works" experience. There's a whole IT industry built on top of Windows' flaws
Deeply ignorant remark. I'm going to quote it so you can't weasel:

I hate bullshit. I hate lies and bullshit.

I regularly see uptime over a year on Windows servers. Longest I've seen is 1200 days. I'm sure we've got longer in the crusty governmental section.

These boxes aren't falling over, I see them when someone notices they are unpatched, which ought to tell you everything about the effort required to operate them. Some grunt had "done the needful" and they just sat there serving pages until we brought them into patch management.

These boxes are worth every penny of the license because they just work. I have in no way run out of steam, I can continue for hours. Let's discuss the oom killer, shall we? Or how about "fix permissions" on Mac, if that's still a thing that Geniuses get paid for?

Like, what do you want, ballmer's head on a spike?
