elementary is a software platform; a unified computer operating system. We have a commitment to a particular toolkit (GTK+) and support a preferred programming language (Vala). We decide how our apps will behave. Sometimes we take control and shape the out-of-the-box experience as much as we possibly can by creating our own apps. We've created an application development framework (Granite) and other developer tools that are designed to help developers build apps specifically for our platform.

    simply, windows, mean it is my own OS, and I can find support. I can download the same application on any version of windows, and it runs, I do not have to apt-get install or dpkg, or yam or compile from scratch! sorry but this is the truth!

    I heard it's good so I can't rate too bad, but there's no EFI support. I download the disc image and mount it so I can copy it to a USB and boot on my UEFI pc but there's no EFI folder. my PC does not have legacy mode. There's no email to write to for support, I almost bought this on the website but so far glad I didn't because it wouldn't even had worked anyway. Not trying to be a negative nancy but just expressing my experience. If they add EFI support for my pc I'll gladly give it a more fair rating and support.
