Some of these are valid, but:

* My Razer Blade 2015 has no problem driving its hidpi screen and my lodpi monitor, even at the same time

* My battery lasts 8 hours with a VM running, which is about as good as any MacBook I've ever had

* Multi desktop exists in Win10, Win+Tab lets you switch desktops

Windows isn't perfect, and I spent a long time on a combination of Linux and Mac machines, but my daily driver is Windows with a Linux VM for programming now and I'm perfectly happy.



And you don't notice any issues when you drag windows between the two monitors?

One of the developers at my work can't do fine tuning of our styles because his Windows multi-display setup won't re-render apps at 1x when he drags them to the lodpi monitor. Instead it renders the app at 2x and downscales it to 1x, blurring everything.


I'm actually not sure, I'll have to try that when I get back to my office. I always have a VM on one monitor and Windows on the other, so I never move things around. I might have to eat my words...
