Windows is the best damn video game machine I've ever
seen. For me, it is nothing but a glorified nintendo
and it is VERY good at that. I thank those freaks at
microsoft every time I sit down and play my favorite
games because those games are beautiful and they would
never run on a console.
As someone else pointed out, every OS has its
strengths and its weaknesses. Its not a matter of
better or worse its a matter of which one will do the
job you need to do.
