There are many open source alternatives/upgrades to M$$$ products.
No reason to keep using them. Literally none.
I have been a happy exclusive only user of OO/LibeOffice since 2004. Some times I needed to use MSOffice for a paper. It was always problematic.
I haven't use VS since 2007. I migrated to gcc. Never had a problem.
SQLServer? Only for demo and at work just to pull or save data. Postgres always saved the day. Windows Media Player? MPClassic or VLC worked fine.
There maybe other alternatives I use without knowing. Always without problems.
- guidedlight 4mo agoI think you are missing the point. It’s about software preservation and abiding by the implied expectations at the time of sale.
- fithisux 4mo agoM$$$ and other companies don't give a damn for software preservation. We do as a community. Many open source Windows deserve preservation. Even if they are abandoned. But blobs? No way.
