Windows isn't Unix and as someone who has spent a career coding for Unix and Unix-like systems, Windows just isn't useful to me. I'm perfectly happy with Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD or even OS X or whatever it's called this week. The code I write generally runs on any of those and things behave as expected.

I've never really used Windows, but I have had to deal with the problems caused by developers using Windows. EOL chars, not putting a trailing EOL char in a file (postconf no like that), a lack of understanding of various Unix things. It's kind of tedious to deal with, but that's more the devs than Windows.

    It happened due to Microsoft disabling an Internation Criminal Court lawyer's Office 365 account. This has spooked EU officials that a rogue US administration could harm it and there's a stronger push now for digital sovereignty.
