Could you elaborate on hw support? In my experience Linux has much better support for old obscure hardware. Some things got drivers for WinXP, maybe Win 7, but not in 10. Windows can not even boot up on some older x86 processors. And window

I think better name (and coined since 1990ies) is embedded db engine . MySQL, Firebird (InterBase) etc can also be linked into binary and run in the same process, without any type of sockets.

7 years ago it was doable to build similar desktop at similar price from refurbished server (4x6core Opteron CPU, 128GB DDR2 ECC RAM). It took about 1KW and was loud, but great complement for performance testing. BTW I seen 64GB DDR4 stic

Back in 2003 I used Litestep. It was scriptable modular windows shell. It had integration with IMs (Miranda), mail, weather, voice control... Sometimes I feel like technology is evolving backwards.
