User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft I think for every business in the world Microsoft Windows is a good use as standard OS system. It’s easy to use and a lot of other company's use it which make it very appealing for user to learn more about Microsoft Windows. The Office 365 suite is really good as a free feature and used a lot by every user of Microsoft Windows. If you got a designer business I would recommend other brands that are specialized in that kind of work. I feel Windows will come short on that end.

Pros	Microsoft It is very easy to use, can be picked up by a novice in minutes. It is aesthetically pleasing, and appears clean and modern. Most programs that people use in their day to day run on windows natively. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Forced updates occasionally have bad timing when ignored for too long Microsoft Edge Web Browser is a bit clunky The 3D desktop still needs some improvement Michal Wyrzykowski Senior Quality Assurance Engineer Read full review
Usability	Microsoft It's easy to use, very straightforward, and user-friendly. It has improved over the years, but you still need to be careful not to shut it down improperly because that may lead to corruption and Windows being unable to boot. There is plenty of software available that covers most needs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Microsoft Windows and macOS are both useful operating systems. There are businesses who much prefer macOS and some that prefer Windows. Businesses that revolve around industries such as game design, art design, graphic design may opt to use macOS due to its optimization with programs that revolve around these topics. Other businesses that are more focused towards Data or text processing may opt to use Windows due to its familiarity across the world and ease of access.
