Windows 10 Passes Windows 7 in Market Share (venturebeat.com)

An anonymous reader writes: More than three years after its release, Windows 10 has passed Windows 7 in market share. That means more desktop computers are now running Microsoft's latest and greatest operating system than any other OS, according to Net Applications. The milestone is a nice way for Microsoft to end 2018, even though the company surely was hoping it wouldn't take this long for Windows 10 to overtake Windows 7.

I bet you have never even seen a minicomputer, and think the world stands for a Mac mini.

I worked in music and film production, craft businesses, and manufacturing. I know all the shity cancer of industry-specific software out there. I even wrote some of it. (For warehouse management, color mixing machines, custom data management, and similar small side-gigs.)

And they all either got replaced by server-side software that runs on large metal linux boxen, by small single-board computer gadgets with client/web interfaces, have never been Windows software (like film/music/3D software), or are more and more moving away from Windows.

Nowadays, Windows has only two domains left:
* Businesses too young/small for big iron and a Unix history and
* too old/big for sucking Apple dick.
So basically just boring medium/small companies ran by PHBs.

You're dreaming buddy. Software on Linux for audio mixing doesn't even support channel mixing WTF the last time I looked. Also people like Microsoft Office. That is Windows or Mac at this point.

Everyone who needs to get work down buys a PC with Windows. End of discussion. Unix lost in the 1980s sorry.
