1.There is a wide-variety
of windows writing programs for you to download. Not just word.
2. Works etc have options. Why not Libre Office or Open Office if your
not up to it.
3. I use Notepad++ and then I bring it to a Word document.
4. Windows can be altered to your own desire as with any OS. You have
to tweak it, to get any real use out of it. 5. The problem with most Windows users is that they do not mess with
the OS. This is why.
6. Most people are pushed on Windows in HS and College projects. That
is why Windows is still around.
7. Your crying about Word? Look at what itunes have turned into.
8. Sometimes you should try installing scoop, and updating features
like winget and the installing the terminal ( HINT: Do not do this
from the store version.
9. You can for a long time install Linux on Window subsystem and enjoy
with no need for any Vmware or Vbox. 10. Specific versions of windows have Virtualization. 11. Like any many of African decent you have to read to keep the
European demons out. Joking aside, you have to read up and learn to
use the terminal as with OSX to get by in Windows world.
12. Privacy.Sexy ?
