I use MicroSoft Windows all of the time.  Most of the software
that I use runs under Windows.  The problems that I have had
depend on the application that I use.  I use three different
versions of Windows.  Windows/286 (enter win) and Windows/386
(change path and then enter either win386 or win86).  Each has
a function.  With enough experimenting I have found which application
works best under which Window.

I do not "bash", you shouldn't either.  Simple rules:

1.) If you don't like it, don't use it.

2.) If you must use it and don't like it, get another job.

3.) If you can do it better, do it!

4.) If you do it, send me an evaluation copy.
