That would be a rather dense nitpicker because I was clearly speaking about the corporation, not their OS. Context helps. I haven't seen ANYTHING more modern in Windows 10 than I'm using now.

I ran Mint for awhile, I just find Ubuntu with Unity a much better presentation. In the end, Mint is really just Ubuntu.
During the XP days I had all but switched to Linux. But Longhorn is just a better OS. For piracy and porn, Linux makes sense - for anything else, not so much. I don't engage in piracy or porn, so Linux has lost it's appeal.
Ubuntu is based on Debian and Mint is based on Ubuntu. That doesn't make it the same. If you like Unity better that's your choice, there's many. I don't know what it is with you corporate goons but you need to get a grip with reality.

I don't understand the religious zeal with MS though. Apple for that matter, it's like they have disciples instead of customers but it does bring home the bacon.
Talking about context.

Nothing wrong with that.
My reason for posting the *nix screenshots is to take aim at uncensored for his remark Linux looks like 1992. Which is, of course, patently false.
There is nothing wrong with the Windows Desktop before or after 8, which 90% agree was just horrendous.
Here are the top five reasons to upgrade to Windows 10
I've already accepted my invitation to upgrade for free, so this really doesn't apply to me. But it does provide some interesting information with links. The 5 reasons set forth are:
Start Menu (I just hope my Classic Shell will work on it)
Cortana (I see no reason why I'd ever use this)
Edge Internet Browser (I'm getting po'd with Firefox and Opera and can only hope this will be better.)
A better all-around interface (whatever that means) @
A new and improved Command Prompt (that might be useful as I was told to use one and can't figure out how on 8.1)

There is no need for my desktop to be "newer" or superior to other desktops. I just have to like it. And I like the ribbon menu of the Explorer, which is indeed superior.

It can do anything, replacing a lot of tools and is very customizable.That isn't anything newer or superior to Linux so what's the point? I could set up a desktop just like that within a few minutes.

Only the "modern apps" do. The normal applications behavior as always.
All along you said Windows was superior. Hmmm. Well, what's superior about Explorer vs file managers in Linux? Were's your multiple desktops? Wish I had that all the years I used Windows. All that shrinking and expanding programs, I don't miss it at all.There is no need for my desktop to be "newer" or superior to other desktops. I just have to like it.

The Windows Explorer has superior features. For example, click and hold the upper frame of a window and put it to the left or right side of the monitor using drag & drop and it will expand to that half of the screen place. Doing so with two windows creates a dual screen file manager. The ribbon menu offers the right features for your specific file types and the explorer natively supports iso image files. The breadcrumb navigation is superior to any other.All along you said Windows was superior. Hmmm. Well, what's superior about Explorer vs file managers in Linux? Were's your multiple desktops?

??
I guess I don't see any difference?
What is different about that?
And you can very-very-very easily customize /change the file manager in Linux.
I open two windows (usually one on each monitor). Takes the same amount of time.
Get used to the breadcrumb navigation. Sureley, some Linux FM feature it as well. Sense is that each level of a patch can be reached with one click and each sub directory with two clicks. A click in the empty space of the bar will show the normal path. How is that not superior? Join the secret breadcrumb cult! The first screenshort serves you as vip pass!
No.
