IMHO it's just interesting coincidence, nothing more. Even though I am not Windows user and I am not for eternal software backwards compatibility (this topic can evolve into a huge rant). Though somehow medium.com staff tries to prove, that having old font is a bad thing and shouldn't be installed today. They released a major update (even calling it version 2.0) and have not it tested it with users (remember that the goal was to use native fonts, so they must have tested it with Android, iOS, OS X, Windows, Windows Phone, Chrome OS, etc.)?
Article was very interesting, showing how can long history of computing produce interesting outcomes. But I felt that author is very annoyed by this coincidence, and somehow this is Microsoft's fault and not medium's and IMHO author is not right.
- dublinben 11y agoAre you really surprised that none of the developers or designers at a hip startup in San Francisco are running Windows? I'm sure even the receptionist is on a Mac.
- mixmastamyk 11y agoYes, and just like the old days, when Windows admins tried to eradicate anything not Windows due to admin costs, it works both ways.
