You led off with a really bad example there, given that Fiats are generally more reliable and comfortable than Fords and Chevys. Cheaper and better. Kind of proved my point actually.
I mentioned the whole pretending to be Windows thing. But as I said, good luck getting support. You call up your software guys with a problem, they ask what your system is, you say VMware, they say “we never tested that”, and now you’re basically on your own.
Windows is plenty user friendly. I know all the Mac weenies insist it isn’t, but the user base proves them wrong.
Networking is absolutely seemless in Windows. Plug in the network and go. Hardly ever have to install drivers, and even then, install the drivers, plug in and go. The only time it’s ever rough is if the domain itself has been setup funky, and that’s the admins fault.
Not an IT consultant. QA engineer, 16 years. I’ve worked professionally with every version of Windows since 3.11, and dealt with plenty of not-Windows. Most of the not-Windows OSes are overrated. I remember System 7, that was the day I realized Mac-weenies are full of it. Horrible OS, my wife could crash it because she typed too fast, menus were in persistent (talk about not user friendly), and the print buffer on the big Apple printers (don’t try using something else) was like half a page AND the print progress dialog was system modal. They’ve come a long way since then, OSX is pretty nice, but it’s not nice enough for the price.

In my forty-five years of experience with Virtual Machines Windows is pretty user-friendly and the network is seamless?
You stated that you don't know any op/sys except Windows. Mac OS system 7; that was ten to twenty years ago. ROFLMAO ! Working on Windows is guaranteed job security as it is crap code. Fiats are more reliable and comfortable than Ford or Chevy ! roflmao !
all op/sys and applications run better in a virtual environment
than on hardware.
Compared to a real operating system ?
OS X(Unix) has been around for over ten years
