More complicated and unlike Ubuntu, it isn't free. Glad Linux was picked for this. It doesn't require buying (or stealing) a proprietary OS for it to work for everyone.
Yes, but I guess it would be viable for someone that actually has a valid Windows license + ISO for development...
Also, I think Microsoft does have some development-and-testing license models, but it might very well mean you have to get a personal license / contact Microsoft to get, which is quite a threshold.
Oh well, I'm quite OK with the status quo - it will move developers to open source platforms, which I love :)
