If you clicked the link you would see that it is explicitly referring to graphical shells.
Jackson Ross
it is, but it's so shit that i installed gentoo as soon as i saw it.
Lucas Lewis
Graphical shells are still shells, you can't say it's a DE.
David Miller
A DE is a collection of programs you dip. What you refer as "shells" are basically WMs.

Honestly, maybe I'm just retarded or gave up too quickly, but I couldn't get C++ to work on Windows. I tried installing Visual Studio and shit, but it didn't actually seem to include a compiler for C++ or something? Also, it's bloated as shit and takes fucking ages to install. What the fuck does it need 51 packages for by default.
Linux, it's so simple.
g++ main.cpp && ./a.out
Done. No bullshit.

It's just a shame that Windows 8 is a bit of a clusterfuck. I mean on one hand, you have a VERY stable core OS underneath, but on top you have a new-fangled way of doing things, a new app store, all which are very new and "unrefined", making it a bit of a pain.
Fun fact: Metro, on paper, is brilliant from a HCI (Human Computer Interaction) point of view. Billions was thrown at studies for that shit (just look at Windows Phone: people rave about the quality Windows Mobile OS, they just hate the no customization no apps side of it). The biggest flaw MS made was this: assuming people would A) accept the change *snaps fingers* like that, and B) that people would be "forced" to deal with the change *snaps fingers* like that. Too bad it's not 1997 anymore. Windows doesn't run 93% of all desktop PCs. Nowadays if people hate Windows 8, they go to: Mac, tablets, using their phones, Linux etc. In 1997? They could... uhhm... yeah, see my point?

you run mingw on windows and never look back

Get out of here, shill.
Anyways, I'd go with the classic pasta:
Microsoft is part of NSA's mass surveillance program "PRISM":

Microsoft informs the NSA about bugs before fixing them:
Microsoft openly offeres cloud data to support PRISM:
Microsoft has backdoored its disk encryption:
Windows snoops on the users' files, text input, voice input,
location, contacts, calendar records and web browsing history,
even after related settings are turned off:
Micrcrosoft automatically downloads Windows 10 on PCs running
Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 (between 3.5GB and 6GB), even if
users have not opted-in:
Windows 10 scans for illegal/pirated software:
Microsoft proudly presents surveillance statistics:
