@waifu eh depends, i personally just can't stand the spyware aspect, the whole licensing shit thing has been a non issue at least since windows xp as people learned to pirate it, and it's buggy and vulnerability riddled too, but that's to be expected from a system that ended up being the number one used system in the world, too much attention on it, its perfect for casual usage, but i wouldn't host a server on windows and as i said the visuals and audio were kino until vista, so it's really not that bad of a system under some circumstances and im at least glad i can pull out and sew in the one aspect i miss from windows which is the visuals and audio lol
