Aside from Windows being... "windows" (IE; graphical) and the whole "we will do our own paradigm for nearly everything including file paths (UUNC included) and encoding..." Windows is actually pretty stellar if you're writing high performance software.

You can go really far with IOCP and it's so nice to write compared to the contemporary kqueue (BSD) or epoll. I will admit to not trying IO_Uring myself though.

Also the Windows system probes predate any kind of bpf and are easier to use than dtrace.

This is the maximum amount of love I will ever send in Windows' direction though. Everything else is ball-busting.
