I really hate defending Microsoft but when they do a release how are they 
supposed to test every possible combination of hardware and software? 
Linux has gotten better but it was problematic on laptops and there were/
are lists of Linux friendly laptops. The Windows world assumes it's going 
to work.

Apple has a much easier task since they know exactly what the software is 
going to run on.
