It's unfortunately true, that most issues with Windows machines are caused by the users and not by Windows. I help many people with their computer issues, it would be easier for me, if they would use Linux, but they would be completely overchallenged with Linux. What we don't like on Windows for the most parts, is well-considered and tailored for a special target group. We aren't the target group of Microsoft. Keep in mind that what's normal for you and me, is way beyond the knowledge of even well educated, smart people who don't care about how computers work. Regarding to music applications, take a look at forums for musicians. Less of the million musicians are professional musicians or audio engineers. They ask for "Southnorth", "Auto-Detune" and how they can get their music as "silent" as professional CDs are. They ask for such apps and make fun about Linux, because they consider Linux as unusable without "Southnorth", "Auto-Detune" etc., if they would be aware about real issues, e.g. that the printer from the supermarket can't be used on Linux, they would make more jokes about Linux. They've got completely other needs than we do have. You don't use a sandwich toaster to cook a wok dish. I know a guy who through his apple computer equipment in rage out of the window. Today he's using Windows, he still has got issues with using computers, but the newer the Windows is, the easier he can use his computer. Windows is customer-oriented, it fit very good to it's target group. Btw. he's a professional musician and never ever would use a computer with what OS ever for music. We can't compare oranges and bananas.
