Having grown up on computers well before Linux existed, I've written in hex so I'm well aware that with Linux, you can do anything. I always wondered why Linux didn't kill Microsoft Windows. I think the real reason is Microsoft Office. In the early days of Microsoft Office it was crap on the Mac. But no more. Now it's the same on both the Mac and on the Windows PC. Linux has "alternatives" but Microsoft Office seems to be what people want. Companies too. Unless... of course, we talk server farms. Then Linux rules. > Windows is excrement, always has been, always will be. There isn't anyone on the Windows newsgroups who wouldn't agree with you. Yet be careful with assessments as most would say Apple's PC is crap too. You'd have to think about that a bit to understand the world of PCs. If one is crap - it doesn't mean the other isn't just *different* crap. There are many components of that "crap", one of which is OS support. Right? For example, at least Microsoft fully supports concurrent releases. In fact, Microsoft currently supports *two* Windows releases (10 & 11). Apple has *never* fully supported more than a single release at a time. That's just a fact. Given Apple only fully supports a single MacOS release at a time... Q: Whose full-OS support is crap now? Note that assessments, to be reasonable, need to be based on facts.
