I do as well. way too well, one might say. for sanity's sake I skipped Vista altogether, and Win 7 and 8 weren't half bad.

8 was ad-strewn bloatware, 10 is ad-strewn bloatware but at least functions mostly like 7

while roughly around the same time going full KILL THE PENGUIN. lol

the thing is that this whole spiel only worked if you bought into the premise Apple good, Microsoft bad in the first place.
