I moved to Windows 10 for my MMO client, and I brought the cl.exe compiler with me and now I need to call "set __COMPAT_LAYER=WIN7RTM" before I run the game othervise file operations randomly fail. It messes with my head, and is fundamentally discouranging. Also I cannot distribute that compiler for legal reasons, so I need to add another compiler to my project delaying it many months. Linux has other problems, like 32-bit vs. 64-bit. It seems to me we're in a vortex of complexity that we will never escape, fundamentally fueled by peak lithography. Seriously considering going back to the C64.
