It depends on who you're talking to.. Windows can work perfectly fine..
The more "techy" the environment you're talking in, the more in depth answers you'll get. But in general:
- It's bulky, there's a ton of overhead that simply isn't needed. Lots of bloatware, different systems running in the background that are basically mandatory that don't exist on other systems.
- Security concerns... Nobody trusts Microsoft, and there's too much user security involved even if you've purchased and own the freaking thing. Sometimes you have to jump through multiple hoops to accomplish some basic task because of some "permissions" bs
- Lack of customizability.. There's not a ton you can do as far as customization besides writing your own programs / scripts. Any third party route you might take will just add more un-necessary bloat
- As far as the actual work being done, the "NAS" portion, the management is horrendous natively. It just feels clunky and un-reliable (I've ran many windows NAS environments). It can run just fine, it just doesn't give you that warm "this is gonna work" feeling...
- I think one of the BIGGEST issues here, is price... Windows isn't free. At least, if you're a law abiding citizen lol.
