Microsoft is losing Builders fast. They’re switching to MacOS and Linux. The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming. However, even these are falling to Linux.
Without Builders, you don’t have software, and without software, you don’t have users. This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.
Ouch!
The good news is you’ll get invited to Cobol/AS400/Mainframe conventions if eventually you’re the only ones left on Windows.
Those folks have similar challenges, but are great to party with after a day of conference talks.
I used to work at a place that had dot matrix printers for printing on envelopes, there was some complicated reason why this couldn’t be upgraded, anyway the computer that ran that was an Acorn, with all its three mouse button goodness, it could only save to floppy disk and the only supplier of old floppy disks is like this one random dude who seems to have bought up the global supply of floppy disks back when they were discontinued. Apparently he makes bank.
