    A friend asks you: hey, my Windows 7 laptop is getting old, the new ones are all on Windows 10, would you recommend it? Or should I consider a MacBook instead? I really like that Mac has virtual desktops, which my laptop didn’t have.

    This is the situation they are asking about. Are you answering:

    “Actually Windows 10 has virtual desktops, so if that was the only reason for you to learn a new environment and move to Mac, then it might be simpler to choose Windows 10”.

    or

    “Nah, they put a lot of spyware in Windows 10, pick something else”.

      I get what you’re saying. I feel like the more you have to work to conjure up a situation where this would be asked, the less likely I’m to recommend it, but under the premise that I find myself in one of those situations…

      Well, given that the impending switch from Win7 to Win10 is what made me drop Windows entirely and rather try my luck with gaming on Linux, you can guess my answer :D
