I love seeing this comment in a thread about OCI containers ( a deeply Linux technology ). This whole discussion is about the abstraction that people hav to use on Windows to make it work. When you want to talk about how the world has progressed, I guess you do not mean Kubernetes or Docker. Give me an example of how Windows has changed the world in the last 30 years.

COM as universal technology to share commercial libraries, language agnostic. Also the basis to share document manipulation across applications. An usable 3D API, that has to be emulated on Linux, as not even Android developers care to port their games. Making computing mainstream for non technical users, where locating where a file was saved is already a challenge in itself. As for OCI containers, we are back in the 1970's, Linux is catching up with what IBM already did back then, still misses some of the cool capabilities of their mainframes. It wasn't even the first as, Tru64 and HP-UX Vaults had the first container like capabilities in late 1990's, followed by Solaris Zones, BSD jails.
