A decent OS with the most versatility of all OSes. Seriously. This thing can run just about any program and/or application.
Let's go on to debunking common misconceptions about
Windows...
1. "
Windows crashes like every 5 seconds!!1!1OMG another blue screen!"
While
Windows does crash, the amount of times it does and how often is usually dependent on many other factors, those factors involving how much people actually take care of their computers.
Since most people don't know how to simple things like defragment their hard drives every once in awhile, and not open every e-mail attachment they get, it's no wonder people have their computers crash all the time.
Out of the approximate 8 years that I've been using a computer running
Windows, I have only gotten the BSoD twice. Twice. And they were both due to me running too many applications over night, anyway. Thank
God it did too. I probably would've fried my HDD from the constant strain I was stupidly putting on the CPU.
Take care of your computer, and you don't get crashes. Simple as that.
2 "I'm always getting viruses!!11!
Windows always gets viruses!11!! You need to have antivirus stuff!!!!1111!1one1"
Two things:
Common sense (don't download and open every .exe application you see, you dolt. One of the many things people do.)
Windows has a majority of the market share, making it a prime target for malware writers.
Done.
3. "
Windows security is a
joke! So it's so easy to hack!!11!"
Only here will I give you compensation. Yes,
Windows security is pretty bad.
But guess what? An IT tech friend of mine said that a Macintosh would take about a few minutes to hack into, and
Linux would take about the same amount of time.
I bet no one ever considered the security of alternate operating systems besides
Windows, because they're all pretty bad by themselves.
He even showed me how. And this friend is certified in computer security, so he would know. Stop listening to all that propaganda, people.
