Android iterates so fast, and there is always a better update shortly down the road. And it is very friendly to the user. The Google search integration, and Google product integration, into phones with the OS, is easily the best part.

Windows 7 revamped the entire user interface to become more simple and efficient. From an administer's point of view as well as a user's, this is the best OS from Microsoft since XP and for both home and business it is great.

I don't have any serious complaints. Windows is what it is without the lousy ideas that cluttered Vista.
