I recently got 2 boxes running Windows 10 after exclusively using Macs for a decade or so.  One is an Alienware Alpha and has been a pleasure to use.  Everything kind of &quot;just worked&quot; out of the box and didn&#x27;t come with the typical bloatware one gets with a mass-consumer grade computer.  Daily usability of the box was great as well.<p>With this positive experience in hand, I decided to build my own rig and many of the annoying memories of why I switched to Macs in the first place came back.  Windows 7 on the Skylake box was a pain due to driver support.  Windows 10 installed without much hassle, but there was a minor engineering effort tweaking the bios fan settings to be silent, installing low-noise fan adapters, collecting and installing drivers for the new chipset.  Obviously, this comes with the territory of building a computer, but it was a small reminder of things dealt with.<p>Gotta say though, Ninite does make the initial installation of software a breeze.
