In no particular order, off the top of my head...

- Not designed to be used by non-administrator. Fixable by writing some
utility programs.
- A zoo of user interfaces. Blood-red, poison-green or Turkish-blue for
main backgrounds...
- Crappy 3rd party drivers, even from respected companies.
- 80% of the programs run properly in "96 DPI" :) only. Of the ones that
"support" high DPI, half would better not, including FF and Opera.
Somewhat fixable with 7even.

nearly usable, and also Linux usually runs great in a virtual machine :)
750MB of MinGW + MSYS, with it's own package manager. Though I probably
installed too much stuff, especially autotools.
