The user interface of windows is also easy to use than UNIX and MAC.
Software support: Windows platform is best suited for game and software developers. Windows have large number audience so developers prefer to make utilities, games and software for windows OS. Linux users cannot make windows apps so it is better to use windows for developing apps.

Disadvantages of Windows operating system
Virus attacks: Windows have a high amount of hacker attacks. The hackers can easily break windows security. So windows users are dependent on anti-virus software and have to pay monthly charges to companies to protect their data. Also, windows users have to update OS to keep up-to-date with security patches.

Rebooting a system: If your system becomes slow in performance then you have to reboot it. If you load many programs at the same time then your system slows down and hangs up. The only solution for this is to reboot.
High price: Linux OS is open source and is free to use for everyone but windows OS has paid license and you cannot use windows OS legally free. The cost of buying a copy of windows OS is high as well. You also need to buy other Microsoft software e.g. MS Office to do regular office work on the computer.
High computer resources: If you are installing windows OS then your computer should have high ram capacity, a lot of hard drive space and good graphics card. This is because of features that are used in windows. If you want to install graphics software i.e. Photoshop then 16 GB of ram is recommended.
Technical support: Windows support is not good for most users. Only some large organizations can get good support from the windows team. Common users have to search for forums to get their problem solved.
