Linux is nice because all the preinstalled routines are open-source, so the behavior is fully predictable.
Macs also are good in that the preinstalled routines are harder to change, again, making them predictable.
I wasn't exactly blaming Windows for the behavior, but rather complaining, since it's a (mostly) Windows specific problem.

For example: Even when I have errors compiling and installing apps, which is something totally incomprehensible to most people, I can quickly Google the error message and with some luck have it figured out and working within a matter of minutes. This is almost never the case with Windows.

I think I'm getting my computer fixed soon, so I suppose I just have to hold on for a bit longer.
