I'd argue that Windows has actually gotten worse. The Bash on Windows thing is nice -- but Windows 10 has become such a huge pain. And obviously this is anecdotal. But I just have so many random problems with it. Things crashing, reboots whenever it wants to, constant slow downs for no apparent reason. I finally just installed Ubuntu on my laptop and I've been much happier.

I’ve had the opposite experience on my Surface Pro 4 and desktop. Everything is much more stable than on Windows 7, where I would often find myself needing to do manual maintenance after something like a power outage. On Windows 10, I haven’t had any huge problems. My Surface Pro 4 (and many others) were disasters on the first versions of Windows 10, but now it is stable.

Things have definitely gotten _better_ for me (I still run Windows 10 on my Desktop). But I had to basically reinstall everything at one point.
One tiny thing that drives me absolutely nuts: it used to be when the lock screen was showing, I could immediately start typing my password to login. Now there's this second or two delay, so the first few characters of my password don't get entered and I almost always "mistype" my password the first time I login. I don't know why, but this really bothers me.

I thought I was the only one! Everyone I ever complained to has said they didn't have that problem. That alone is enough to make me quit using your software.

Weirdly I've had one noteable crash (that wasn't me messing with hardware) on windows since probably 7. However on my rMBP I get semi-regular blackscreen/beachball lockups & reboots - granted it's anecdotal, but my OSX experience has generally been worse than my windows one. Terminal, Trackpad, Keyboard (pre-butterfly), paw & sketch are the only positives I get from my MBP.
