I think enjoying Windows is taking it a little too far. But I do enjoy
Emacs, even in Windows, especially since I discovered ORG mode.

For installing Emacs on Windows, in my opinion it's best done now from
MSYS2. They even say this on
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html#nonfree

"MSYS2 users can install Emacs (64bits build) with the following:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-emacs"

So MSYS2 first for all the command line tools and others. The Konsole
terminal is also now available via MSYS2.
