Well first of all, windows was originally built on an architecture that used C++ and kernel in C. Mac uses more stable unix / objective c quirky but controlled environment.
Windows bloats because of registry issues, bad data mapping onto hard disks(fragmented drives), bios malfunctions and corruptions in early years, and not to mention the ever inescapable bloat ware that is ore installed to keep your computer "up to date" ...to put it simply, it can be slowed, but the aging and impending doom of your systems inability to allocate memory properly and keep away the "bugs" will concede to be your inevitable downfall

Poorly coded software that fucks up everything, installs endless outdated libs and frameworks, shits all over your registry which then gets too big for its own good, does the same thing on your filesystem which it fills up with temporary data that's never cleaned... Windows is also to blame, it piles up tons of logs and data you'll never read nor need and that should be disabled by default, it keeps backups of past updates for no reason which a fresh install all compiles as a single one...

You could avoid it by avoiding bad software, but then you would only be using paint and notepad. Or you can prevent it with tight administration, but while it's worth it for a large company, that's a lot of work for your sole home computer, and formatting once in a while is much quicker.

You can think of every Windows update/software install as taking a messy shit in a public restroom, but the janitor only has a tooth brush to clean with, he works for 5 seconds, and he ends up just spreading the shit around instead of cleaning it.
Eventually the shit builds up and it's best to regularly throw the toilet away and start fresh.

it doesn't, people just aren't aware of all the places various software stick their hooks.

check you task scheduler and post results

i have sound/media machine that has un updated 2009 daz loader win 7 image on a 64gb ssd

i havent installed any new software for years except vivaldi, i have tune up utilities that i can run a regestry clean and defrag every few years and machine is still slowing down lately (its an i7 920) like it takes ages for network and desktop to boot after login and it pauses for seconds when i open explorer and want to have all my files sorted by date

shit is fucked up ... windows rots and its deeper than the registry its by design

one cool tip around this is to clone your drive and create an image after you install win drivers and your programs.... i have 8gb .iso of my setup that i can just restore to and be up and running with minimal fuck around if my windows gets owned

also: before gentoo: i have *nix laptops this is just an audio production machine that still rots when it shouldnt

windows slowed down after years when i never used it for web browsing and it has very small attack surface

something something everyone trys to pwn windows....something something just windows sitting on a network is bad... something something ntuser.dat {{0xfgf}}....something something botnet.... something something pajeet pretty much nails it

Yet another reason to purchase the new Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
