Comment on MS to update Windows every 3 years

  😂😂 it’s always the windows users at the company that have problems and can’t get code to run locally, thus pushing a bunch of test failures into staging. Yet here we are, a bunch of enterprise Linux and Mac users pushing code that works because we can run it properly locally… even shaved one user in my team to switch from Windows to Mac and after the first month he was relieved everything just ran, and he had a real terminal …

  If you’re just clicking buttons in a web browser, I’m sure Windows is just fine. For anything more than that, it’s a giant waste of time.

    It’s so strange that Windows users don’t see how welcoming our communities are.

    You’re toxic. Windows is trash, but treating others bad means you’re a bad person, regardless of which OS they use. Why do I even need to say this?

    Surely you’re all running with the same security policy, agents, and account permission constraints (e.g. no local admin) as all your Windows counterparts so you have a true comparison?

    And you can get a “real” terminal on Windows right now.
