I'm sure there's a barely functioning business critical app that runs exclusively on Windows NT in their administration that would beg to differ | ||

If it only runs on NT, it'll work better under WINE than on Win10/11. Legacy app compat is actually an argument for moving to Linux. | ||

It can be ported to React under a single prompt by now, don’t you know? But certainly we are already at stage where Windows NT can be regenerated on the fly from a prompt anyway, aren’t we? Otherwise, there is also ReactOS that could be leveraged on for that kind of scenario. I wonder where it would stand by now if all the money that governments around the world spent in Microsoft license would have been invested in it instead. | ||

Sure. But if they can successfully convert 99% of their computers to non-Windows and non-Mac, that'd still be a massive win. | ||

Ideology may actually be the best way to cut off legacy bullshit like this. There's passion-energy, which really gets the creative problem-solving juices flowing. | ||
