Windows 10

Windows 10 is extremely Popular

Because almost everyone uses Windows as their main operating system, compatibility with common apps is not an issue. Almost every application made has a version for Windows, and certain apps are made exclusively for Windows.

Full touchscreen support

Windows 10 was designed as much for touchscreen operation as for normal operation. With the click of a button you can put your Windows 10 PC in tablet mode. That means that you can use your laptop as a tablet while still having full computing power. This is handy and useful feature.

Windows 10 uses system resources heavily

Windows 10 is a system resource hog. It will slow to a crawl on any computer with 4Gb of RAM or less, while a Linux operating system could operated quite comfortably in the same circumstances. Windows 10 is big and sloppy and wastes system resources unnecessarily because of it's poor architecture.

Windows 10 degrades vastly over time

Windows 10 will slow to a crawl even on a more powerful computer as time goes on. This is because of the horrible system architecture implemented by the Windows operating system. The size of the operating system grows on the disk with every update, as older update files are still kept by the system and used in some way.

Windows 10 is insecure

Because of the sloppy system architecture used in Windows 10, there are many loopholes in the system's security for hackers and malware. Microsoft has to release security updates almost as often as once per day sometimes when they find these security flaws. A good antivirus software is a necessity for a Windows 10 machine connected to the internet.

Windows 10 costs money

Unlike most Linux distributions and MacOS, Windows 10 is not free. Windows 10 Home costs $139, and Windows 10 Pro costs $199. Microsoft can get away with this because most people automatically assume that they need to buy Windows if they want a computer. Schools and businesses need some operating system, and it makes sense to use a common one for compatibility reasons. Therefore Microsoft can and will jack up the prices because of basic supply and demand.
