Yes unfortunate; personally I don't have a huge use for authorities of any kind; but I was wondering what you thought of his 'theory' ; "......So, the end state this all points at is: New Windows is mostly a Linux kernel, there’s an old-Windows emulation over it, but Edge and the rest of the Windows user-land utilities /don’t use the emulation./ The emulation layer is there for games and other legacy third-party software........."
which is probably more important for the future of Windows than Linux.
Perhaps the "desktop wars" themselves have become archaic in and era; when "tech" has come to mean not much more than apps on mobile phones ? The desktop wars have become quiet because phones and tablets are where it's at. For the desktop it's mostly about web browsing.
Well personally I also find the novelty of reading books and particularly writing essays on mobile devices; somewhat under-whelming ! regards Rohan McLeod
