I honestly appreciate the effort you've put in to continuing the discussion. I'm happy to concede that I evidently will not get you, personally, to admit that there's a single thing hostile to the user about Microsoft Windows.
I'm just kind of intrigued as to what your experience of Linux is that you're so certain it's not an alternative for Windows? I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you've got some experience with Linux. However, your comments about it being 'barebones' or saying Linux has 'an old Windows UI' make me feel as if you might not have.
Furthermore I'm happy to be sold the positive case for Windows as software. I'll let you know I'd view arguments along the lines of it coming 'pre-installed' more as an endorsement of Microsoft's business practices than Windows as software.
