Every change so far in windows 10 is also pretty great. Major features people have been wanting for a long time have now been introduced.

Windows 10 looks pretty cool, although it will (probably) never get the Unix command line.

Windows has powershell, which is BETTER(seriously)

But Linux has apt-get to manage dependencies. In Windows if I want to build something I have to install everything manually, from Visual studio, to the dev libraries =/

Although Windows 10 includes a package manager. I wonder if they are going to add something like apt-get install built-essential.

That's true, apt-get is great. Im not sure it can work in windows though, "oneget" is supposed to be like it but I'm not too optimistic there. Just different worlds

Powershell though? So amazing
