My point was, and still is, that Windoze is SSSLLOOOWWW, and painful to use.   
It may well have the best widgits around, but if you can't use them, who cares?   
I have a 25 Mhz '486, with 16 meg, which, while not the fastest, is at least in  
the ballpark with the fastest, and I need a clean order of magnitude  
improvement before I can use it!  My IIfx beats it easily.  My '030 leaves it  
in the dust, not to even mention my '040.  Even OS/2 is faster.

My sister office in Charlotte was THRILLED that autotrax for Windows actually  
autorouted a PCB for them over the WEEKEND!  If autotrax for the Mac hasn't  
finished in a hour, it ain't gonna get done at all!  That is to say, the Mac  
version was able to route that same board, using software from the same  
company, in 1/20th the time or less on a MAC.  Windoze indeed!
