Windows or Linux

I hate Windows 10 with a passion myself, but unfortunately for me I have to use it at work and at home for my projects. Most of the programs I use were only written with Windows in mind, and will not work on Linux. I liked Windows 7 though, and never had any issues. My issue with Windows 10 is the stupid updates, they never seem to work on my laptops. I'm going to dual boot my current laptop with Ubuntu, since I have to keep Windows 10.
