Here are my gripes with the modern Windows experience:

- Runs Windows update and reboots without my permission

- Keeps trying to make me switch to Bing

- Keeps trying to make me use Microsoft Account vs. local account

- Does a crappy job of reopening windows on reboot. Miserable copy of macOS.

- Fan spinning on my laptop with no easy way to figure out what process is consuming CPU

- Flat UI

- No built-in way to view markdown files

- No tool to graphically show where my diskspace went; allowing me to find and delete large files

- Printers keep getting disconnected; it is easier to print from iPhone thanks to bonjour

- No dictionary app (macOS has it)

- Can't airdrop to iPhone (3rd party apps can do it)

- No screenshot tool that allows you to type text (in addition to circling and highlighting and arrows)

- No command-line zip / unzip

- No instant search (macOS has had it for how many years now?)
