A brand new laptop I bought this year can't run Windows 10, the system is basically unusable. Not a cheap laptop, either, it was one of the more expensive ones. It runs Ubuntu no problem. All of Microsofts products seem to have latency issues, and I still can't figure out for the life of me why it takes longer to open a file in Visual Studio or in Word on my gaming desktop than it does to load a current year $60 video game. I wish designers focused what they call "gamefeel" in video games: how quickly, clearly, and satisfyingly does the program react to user input.
Edit: on the other hand, computers do start up a heck of a lot faster than they used to.
