As an IT guy dealing with software updates, security and patching for very large companies, I will add that MS new patching model and quality assurance thereof has been complete crap since Win10. Every new release of W10 breaks tried and true methods of doing specific work or presents problems for vendors, and every patch tuesday is a complete crapshoot... Also MS tries to sneak updates of the OS on you every chance they get.

I don't love what Apple is doing with OSx (ipadizing the Mac, and constantly nagging you re:updates you can only defer for a day) but I have nothing but macs at home because I don't wanna work on computers on my free time. Win7 was the last decent Win OS in my book but it's out of support very soon... (which is hindsight could be a great thing! no more $hite patches, take your chances with vulnerabilities instead of bluescreening with "fixes" ;-)
