Buddy,

It is not in numbers, but in interface. You have to use it yourself to understand what people at Microsoft do not uunderstand.

The keyword is: ergonomics. Nonoe of numbers beats that. You do not need to be a geek to use computer. Th is is the same as with car. Do you still use crank start for your car and check and fill oil yourself? Thses days you do not even need to know what clutch is or why one would need to change gears in car. That's convenience of use utility called car. the same with computer.

Plainly, Microsoft lost touch with progress on user interfaces. Simplicity and logic is important - not complexity and counterintuitive shortcuts and screens to serve someoene's purpose.

I am not going to prove why after being user and software developer for Windows for over 10 years (since 1991) I dropped it in 2003 and banned from my home in 2006. It is not worth my mental health to deal with its own problems. Ever since I have minor problems with doing everything the same (and sometimes more) when using network of Mac's that I run at home office/professional design studio/pleasure.

Good luck with Windows - until you do not try you will not know and be lost by asking for some "magic" numbers and side by side comparisons.
