Are you experimenting to see if you can switch from Linux to Windows? Is there a blog post somewhere about that experiment?
Oh no way. i have no desire to use Windows full time. After more than a year of waiting I finally got my Eve V 2-in-1 Windows tablet. i'm experimenting with what has to offer in that form factor. Eventually I'll see what Linux is like on it too.
When I did the original Finding an Alternative to Mac OS X post I had a lot of people say, what about Windows? I always planned to give it a try with the V but it took a long time to arrive. I find it highly unlikely I'd be able to use a non UNIX like OS as my primary OS though.
With the stuff MS is doing recently like adding SSH to Windows, it's a tempting alternative. The hardware support is definitely better than on Linux. Still, it's not a UNIX like experience.
True. I still don't think I could deal with some of the more questionable things they've done though (ads, analytics, forced updates, etc.). I've chosen my hardware carefully so FreeBSD runs will on my desktop and Arch well on my laptop.
