But do we ackshually want to use Windows?

The HN crowd is probably in alignment against, but Windows still rules outside of the major metros and tech sector. Sadly.

Windows is my main home and side business OS. I unfortunately use MacOS at work and dread it.

Mac doesn't rule the Metro areas. It simply rules in the West coast-centric, relatively wealthy crowd that is a high percentage of the HN readers.

The less thing I want to use is MacOS[0], the only real alternative for me is a Linux flavor, which may be the case soon enough if keeps trying to pushing Copilot and other AI crap down my throat.

That's... a 4 year old writeup that's mostly complaining about things that have since been fixed and were generally considered flaws at the time even by people who liked the OS/Hardware, and some of them are specific flaws to a specific model of laptop at the time.

You're free to not like it, but if you're still holding on to that list of reasons, it's a bit like abandoning Windows because of the W10 rebooting issues and disliking the original Surface. There's been a lot of change and there's other options.

You can't just dismiss it as being invalid because it is 4 years old. I counted 9 of the 15 items as still present issues on current macbooks. Most of the things not solved are design decisions. It's not like people needed more evidence that apple is slow to adopt, or never does adopt, quality of life improvements that are present in their competition.
Why sadly? I’m quite happy with windows, thank you very much. I have just as many gripes against MacOs as I’m sure you do against windows.
Ohh, I don't know about that...
Absolutely, I don't have a problem with it
Yes, I love Windows and hate using MacOS for development. For grandmas macs are fine as a Netflixmachine. Just like iphones really.
