Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows is a must for every organization nowadays. It solves nearly all needs that a company may have, including user management, file sharing, file permission, remote desktop, if you have a pro or enterprise version, database, etc. We could say it's the only option we have that is user-friendly and widely known.

Pros

  • Ease of use.
  • Deployed everywhere.
  • Many resources available.

Cons

  • Pricing
  • Stability
  • Unwanted apps.
  • Advertising that you don't want embedded.
  • Large product life.
  • 24/7 on servers.
  • As negative the updates time.
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.
It's very different if we compare it with a Linux distribution. It's not free, and many apps you can get are paid (Office 365, for example). But also, you pay for a widely known product and a product that nearly every employee knows how to use. Linux is used more by sysadmins and tech people.

Do you think Microsoft Windows delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Microsoft Windows's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Windows live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Microsoft Windows go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Windows again?

Yes

I highly recommend it because it's the most used operating system in the world. If you work with other organizations or share info, it's easier if you have the same system instead of Linux, for example. Also, a large number of employees know how to use it, but not so many know how to use Linux or macOS.
