You have to be a merkin to argue that one is better than the other

Regular home users aren't tech-savvy enough to deal with a subscription model for OS in my view.

Yay, looking forward to it already.

There is hardly any difference in them, you start it up, you choose the program you want to run and run it. I don't spend any time whatsoever using the OS really and most major applications will run just as fast on each one.

Apple's build quality was far in advance of anything MS could offer for a long time but Samsung matched them eventually and the rest have caught up, the surface is a fantastic product.
But, office is by far and away the better business product suite and if you want to buy into the full shebang like I have the xbox/phone/surface/desktop/office365 then MS is the better overall offering I think.
But that is just me.

If you have to use a command line than Windows PowerShell ISE is ten times better than Bash being hugely modernised over that excressence.
Virtual desktops are a nightmare on OSX with new windows appearing in seemingly random desktops, inadequate navigation between desktops and hopeless ditto between windows in different desktops. I defy any normal person to use multiple desktops for 2 weeks before turning them back off. Certainly I did that. The day Windows implements multiple desktops without an off switch is the day I stop defending them in public.
To repeat : Neither OSX nor any other version of P.O.S.OS is in any way better than Windows and the UI for these hateful and appalling OS's is very much worse.
