The Superficial Failings of Microsoft Windows
Why Microsoft Windows is Broken and Will Probably Never Be Fixed
- Lack of installed software
- Lack of a unified updating mechanism
- Lack of virtual desktops
- Poor remote management
- Onerous licensing (Active Directory, Exchange, Terminal Server, etc)
- Poor instrumentation
- Layering violations
- Window Manager built-in to kernel
- Logging
- Event logs are local-only
- Event logs are space-efficient
- Must be Administrator to create symbolic links by default (this can be changed to specify additional groups, but ... why ?)
