Lol. No, no system is perfect, but the problems Windows have just with viruses and malware alone is enough for me. I used Windows exclusively for over fifteen years. I still have to use it and the problems I have with it have not changed back from 1994. That's the biggest problem alone for me. However, to each his own. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I got off the hamster wheel of Windows in 2009 and have been a much happier computer user since then. At least I get my work done and don't spend half my time battling my screen reader's oddities and Windows problems. The problems I have with my Mac are mainly from third party applications and they are a cake walk compared to those I still experience with Win 10.
