Certification. Many commercial RTOS's are already certified to ASIL-C or ASIL-D, which requires extensive testing to verify that the system will work as designed and every code path is covered by tests. Products exist like Automotive G

Automotive ADAS systems generally require ASIL-D certification, which is much easier with an RTOS than Linux. I don't have much experience with real-time embedded Linux, but my understanding is that it is very difficult or impossible t

I highly recommend FastMail for a paid email provider. Their support staff is quick to respond, and it’s nice to be a customer instead of a product (i.e. pay for the service instead of getting it for free with ads)

My company is concerned about that as well. We don’t use any cloud storage from Microsoft or anyone else, and we self host Exchange and SharePoint servers. That is a good point though, it’s becoming more and more inconvenient for a company

Large and complex pieces of software, and operating systems in particular, tend to be tightly tied to their compilers. It is never easy and in some cases practically impossible to port to a different compiler. I expect that Microsoft has co

Presumably the compiler team wrote a test for that behavior so there won’t be a regression. I assume that Windows isn’t planning on switching compilers, so they can rely on that behavior as long as the Microsoft compiler passes all its test
