Criticisms of his post aside. Isn't it unfortunate, the absolute degree everything legacy is at least in some way tethered to windows. If only there had been an open alternative, it would allow huge communities to emerge keeping very old software/games working indefinitely. Not that linux was even remotely close to being usable even only twenty years ago. Relying on a giants benevolence is never going to work in the long run. Their contemporary direction is only a function of what side of the bed theyd like to turn on today.
