Seriously the title is like saying that x86 is the only processor for computing we need to embrase it... There are goods and bads to supporting the win32 abi/a

Seriously the title is like saying that x86 is the only processor for computing we need to embrase it...
There are goods and bads to supporting the win32 abi/api with ALL of its quirks and bugs. But most of this (99%+) is trying to support dead projects that will get no support or maintenance even if the bugs turn out to be client side misuse of odd/undocumented errata behaviour.
This is a fundamental shift in culture between, release and maintain VS release fire the devs and cash a cheque. Very few closed sourced Windows projects will _ever_ get even the level of updates you get from VMware or Nvidia products during their lifecycle on Linux and these are companies betrated for being mere months behind mainline kernel developments...
