Reply to comment by herbw in TIL that Microsoft's first operating system was Unix-based by GriffinFTW

The post you are replying to is talking about "servers", not general desktop usage.

General desktop usage is benign as you describe, any moron can type stuff on a computer, that's why the Windows operating system isn't exactly crucial to those means.

Yes, the universe obeys the laws of thermodynamics, but there are plenty of people who in an isolated context seem to defy that, right? They would rather write a letter than use a computer.

I have enough of a span of knowledge to get the gist of that principle, I've never seen it before, thanks for linking that.

Word processing is easy to use. We use the most widely available, too . Sure Linux works, until the next better language comes along. Have seen many upgrades in Linux, haven't you? So, well, then.....
