Dont ask me -- I've been working on setting up an automatic build system on windows the last few days and the number of strange windows behaviors I have had to deal with is not funny.

Their file system performance is an order of magnitude worse than either linux or os x inside a VirtualBox VM.

They just released a compiler update that crashes on perfectly valid C++ files that the previous version of the compiler compiled with no problem.

The windows update client used 1.5 GB of RAM and took an hour and half of continuous processor 100% usage just to decide what updates are available!

Their make equivalent does not support parallel building.

They keep showing you ads for windows 10

EDIT: Oh yeah, and you need 11GB! of diskspace to use their compiler (though this particular pathology is common to OS X as well)
