> All I am saying is every platform exists for a reason and has issues. Hardly an inspiring sales pitch for Windows. The reality is that Microsoft allowed a lot of things to stagnate in Windows that it shouldn't have: - the C runtime - the terminal and shell - UTF-8 support (lol) - package installation - CLI admin tooling To their credit, they've been doing a ton of catch-up work on all of those things lately. Yes, PowerShell is nice. Yes there's a lot of very nice APIs and protocols. Active Directory is good enough (though I think Microsoft may be resting on its laurels with AD). Impressions made 20 years ago continue to be true-ish now, though, again, Microsoft is finally making progress towards remediating those, but inertia counts for a lot. Eventually, maybe, just maybe, Windows might recover a lot of the mind-share it lost to Linux. This is a business where mind-share is kind. It's interesting to see a number of companies that benefited enormously from mind-share they built then fail to keep it up. Mind-share is the biggest lock-in.
