There's hundred of thousands of "testimonials" over which OS is best online. The fact is that Windows remains the best compromise between capability and cost for a lot of people.

I truly think backwards compatibility is THE reason Windows is still a thing. Linux has a non-stable kernel ABI by design, and Apple loves breaking older stuff with little to no notice.
