  I used Applix on Unix / Linux and it was fine.

  sure, but computers are so much more than office suites.

      our lab computers ran novell netware, which definitely told me that microsoft wasn’t all there was. but yeah, it definitely conditioned an entire generation into only understanding windows.

        To be fair, NetWare again was the product - microsoft didn’t have anything worthy of respect until much later (and I can’t remember if AD was any good in the early 2000s!)

        NT4s Lanmanager was rubbish - NetWare was light years ahead as a directory service. I’d argue the institutions simply had the right tools for the job.

        You are right about the hostile defaults / corpos getting into education to capture a generation, of course (and institutions want to be relevant to the market rather than to the principles or foundations, which is a shame)
