A seamlessly synchronized cloud clipboard, between mobile and desktop. A new system-wide 'light' theme for the first time. The continued rollout of the beautiful 'Fluent' design system across the platform (albeit slowly). The list of major changes to Windows in just two years, for free, is impressive: While Windows might appear less refined than macOS to some, I've been really impressed after switching by how rapidly Microsoft is releasing major updates for the platform and the refinement the company has been adding almost constantly-the OS sorely need it, but the company is shipping quickly. You can read about my 2019 recommendations for a MacBook replacement here, but I thought it was time to revisit Windows 10 and the state of things two years in-and whether I plan on sticking around. In the two years since my switch, I worked to find the absolute best laptops money could buy, trying to compare anything that might be a great MacBook alternative. The company refreshed its MacBook Air after years of requests only to stunt its hardware worse than before, and while we're slowly seeing higher-end Pro hardware arrive-the refreshed Mac Mini is probably the most exciting development in years-the stream of hardware flaws and poorly-designed keyboards continues. In 2019, the state of Apple's macOS devices is a disaster.

Most found the process reasonably simple, appreciated that they could still use their favorite Linux and open source tools, while also having integrated access to Windows productivity tools, like Microsoft Office, Outlook, and Teams.Two years ago, I made the jump from macOS to Windows despite being a long-time Apple fan. We thought it may be helpful to hear from other developers about their experiences switching between a Mac and Windows development environment.
