Funny, when I think of Windows, reliability and stability are the last things on my mind. I mean, if they could build a reliable release then why isn't that shipped with all computers? You know, like with linux, the stable version is also the current release. Basically your description makes it sound like what's really making Windows so unreliable is all the crapware that Microsoft forces down your throat.

Yes, exactly, because it’s all that crapware and bloatware that makes you inadvertently sign up for wholly unnecessary subscriptions to crap Services that nobody needs or wants. Plus all the advertisements. Lennox would seem to be a far better solution for a point of sale system or inventory management system or something like that

Sounds like a great sales pitch... "PoS machines, but unlike Windows-based devices ours continue to work after the first six months!"

Wait...Wait a minute.... What about...MCDONALD'S ICE CREAM MACHINES?!?!?!

If they switched to linux the ice cream would be colder and even smoother.
