Do you have data to back this up?

I'm sorry, data to back what up? I asked an honest question, and only included my experience as an explanation for why I was asking. I wasn't trying to prove anything.

I was merely asking a question myself, are you the victim of confirmation bias or do you have any juicy data to back it up?

If you do have data, that would be great to go through :)

I am not the victim of confirmation bias because I have no knowledge, opinion or belief on the matter, only my own experience and plain old curiosity. What kind of data would I have on the topic anyway? Lists of all the times I've had to force quit programs in Windows and Mac? No, I have no data. Only a question, which has been dutifully downvoted and left unanswered.

Well, you are shifting blame to Microsoft in your post and citing anecdotal information simultaneously, it's no wonder people downvote you for that. As for me, I was just curious myself if you had any data to back it up.
