This is one of the primary resaons I ditched Windows for Macos.

The multitasking on Windows is ridiculously bad.

Also, applications that freeze and can't be killed/restarted are simply part of life on Windows.

Add to all that, Window slows down over time - again, the periodic reformat and rebuild is part of life on Windows. After I switched to Mac I didn't need to rebuild the operating system essentially ever.

Also, the registry - I think the worst idea in all computing. Prior to the registry you plopped a windows application in a location and configured it with an INI file. After the registry the entire operating system and all applications turned into one big ball of chewing gum, glue and hair dredged out of the shower drain.

How can Windows have got it so wrong?
