Getting used to Windows
... is hard after years with a Mac.
I’m using Windows as a way to detox, as a way to get away from dependence on the computer’s storage as data hub and move towards the cloud. I’m tired of lugging a laptop around everywhere and don’t see a solution in a lighter device. My digital life will have to be distributed across multiple special purpose devices with overlapping functions, with my data accessible across them.
Using Windows makes this migration so much easier.

Why Windows?
Why windows though? Wouldn't Linux have been a better choice?

I can't come around to trusting my data to a Windows setup, so it's a good way to get used to the notion of a computer as just gateway to the cloud.
When I'm done, I'll move to a Linux+OSX setup.
