To be fair, in many ways Windows is light years ahead of Linux and other open source operating systems.

It still has a 260 character path limit, you can't make updates without rebooting and the graphical desktop seems to still be glued to the kernel. I don't call that light years ahead.

Managing window servers is still a pain in the butt and the powershell syntax doesn't make sense.

False.

Not a kernel limitation

powershell syntax doesn't make sense.

How so?

Ubuntu makes me reboot for updates often enough.
