So, I haven't transitions, rather I've augmented. I have a MBP and recently purchased a Surface Go as my secondary device.

The Surface Go work fantastically, but I still run into a lot of UX/UI issues deeply entrenched into the Windows way of doing things.

I think the most succinct example is setting management - particularly with bluetooth. Windows has this slide out with quick access to important setting like Wifi, Bluetooth, etc. Similar to Android's setting center.

Long pressing the Bluetooth icons opens a secondary menu (basically treats it like a right click) with a singular option to take you to Bluetooth settings. On Android, a long press takes you directly to the Bluetooth settings because they know that's what you're looking to do.

That's not a deal breaker, but it's certainly a clear example of how MS still hasn't stepped up it's UI game.

On the flip side, I'm finding all sorts of stupid issues with my Mac lately. It seems like every new OS upgrade brings a slew of new problems.
