The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: “Gamers use Windows because of its’ user experience not our de facto monopoly.”

Edit: Yo, I’m not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew’s UX sucks ass.

    I’ve considered Windows a toy OS for decades because the only use case anyone can legitimately make for needing to use it is to play games.

      Among consumers, sure. But they also have put decades of effort into understanding how business buy and pay for software and computers.

        I’ve used several CAD solutions as a toolmaker. And tested even more. All Windows only. I wear the sackcloth and ashes of FreeCAD at home because

        1: It’s free and I don’t need to buy a subscription. Billed monthly or annually-- your choice. I can use FreeCAD as I see fit.

        1. It does NOT require me to store my data in the cloud. I have worked on things that were trade secrets.

        2. If my internet connection goes down I can’t access my work with the full ability to manipulate it.

        3. I absolutely detest the clown car UX that is Fusion 360. I don’t want to click an icon and get a dropdown menu that’s a dozen entries long, then click one of those and getting a submenu that’s ANOTHER 6 entries deep. Ain’t nobody got time for that shit.

        4. Learning difficult things does not scare me.
