For me, Windows is the worst of them all. It's the one that's supposed to work on every machine flawlessly then you buy a new laptop with Windows 10 and it won't wake from sleep unless you open and close the lid twice and then when it does wake from sleep the wifi is broken and won't work until you reboot.

This was my experience on a new laptop from dell. And it's not uncommon, just go to the windows 10 forums and you can find people with thousands of hardware issues even on brand new systems that shipped with Windows.

What's even more sad is that I expect that kind of experience with a brand-new consumer Windows machine from the store. In the corporate world, a "clean" install is done and you don't see these kinds of issues.
