Well, this has increased the changes of my next laptop being a Surface Book by around 100%. I already loved the form factor of the thing, but lack of bash was absolutely causing me to hesitate and wonder if I could justify doing all my work in a Linux VM or something (I can't).

I'm genuinely very tired of OS X, which (to my perception at least) has gotten steadily worse with every version. I for one will be happy to switch.

Really...? What would you change about OSX? I just switched from Windows to a Mac and I can't see myself ever going back...

I have far more issues with OS X than with Windows. I get kernel panics, waking from sleep crashes, weird issues with external monitors not being detected as connected, or worse, disconnected.

Windows also offers a lot more customizations than OS X.

However, there are things I like about OS X also, like spaces and multi-touch trackpad support.

I use both on a daily basis.

This is a real problem for me as well. Not enough to make me want to ditch my Mac, but it's a real PITB.
