Apparently SOME Linux computers don't wake from suspend (not an issue for 
me). And it would irritate me if the screensaver kept starting when I didn't 
want it to. Watching movies would be a pain in the butt in that case. 
(Chromebooks, for a while, did that.) 

But the biggest issue is how Windows handles updates. Linux would probably 
already be releasing updates for this. With Windows you have to wait until 
"the next update." And you also ignore the fact Microsoft basically uses their 
customers for beta testers — like, somehow, that's okay.
