Yep - for example, Windows 10, although being rather nice update, changed start menu to XAML (in a separate process), and a result is that when I press the Win button on my i5 with new SSD, either nothing happens (missed keystroke? really??) or I wait up to 5 seconds.

Needless to say, all keystrokes before it opens are missed, so Win + type program name + enter turns into Win ... wait ... type program name ... wait some more ... enter.

Also, touchpad drivers. They sold more macbooks to PC laptop owners than anyone else.

Ah, you were talking about third party hardware :).




Wonder how many billion dollars were lost by PC makers for the lack of a normal touchpad?

Apple's touchpad is not especially great, it's just normal, like a touchpad should be.
