The things that make me not like Windows are it's aggressive Windows Updates, lack of real true security, and the way windows regularly ignores settings. Steam automates configuring Wine for you and most games just work. But for work? There's no reason to use Windows anymore unless you have some proprietary software that runs only on Windows.

Btw the whole "Access Windows internals and GUI" from Linux already works. You can just run Windows commands from bash and of course make scripts using those commands so essentially all windows command prompt commands are available to you now.

But remember it's Windows. You can set all the registry settings you want but it will still sometimes ignore your settings and just do what it wants.
