Tools? It took 2-3 hours of reading howtows, tweaking and experimenting before getting Win8 in a &quot;workable&quot; state on a computer without touchscreen. Its like Linux backwards: to make the system work have to go backwards, disable every single &quot;new&quot; feature! If you wanna automate something, good luck, with that... Are you going to launch a VM to run a ruby or py script??? Docker support came last to windows and many nice tools dont run on windows at all.<p>Windows make sense to me if you wanna do specific things but a dev&#x2F;admin OS outside the MS ecosystem is a awful.
