Windows is only good for legacy stuff

Windows today is nothing more than a glorified Dosbox.

For the new stuff, especially on mobile, it's between Apple and Android. Most content is platform agnostic, but Windows still has an abysmal market share in mobile.

DirectX 12 is pointless unless the graphics card manufacturers AND game developers get on board and implement the standards fully. Also, eye candy is not a valid substitute for gameplay. I can't think of a game today which approaches the greatness of games published from mid-1990s to mid-2000s. Even Blizzard is a shadow of its former self after its acquisition by Activision.

I'm glad I'm still on Vista... spared the nagging and the sneaky pop-up reminder ads.
