Win10: 11.85% user share after 6 months, free of cost to many
Linux:  1.71% user share after 20 years, free of cost to all

ouch!

Win8 was a pile of crap, 8.1 offered some fixes, and 10 got
them back on track.

LibreOffice: now with limited macro recording.  No wonder - they've only 
had 13+ years of development...

"the quality of the code is generally excellent" tells you all you need 
to know.

But... do you mean every line of MS code isn't perfect?  That it 
actually contains hacks to maintain many years of backward compatibility?

No way...
