Default If you aren't smart enough to use Windows 10 as it evolves, stick with your POS Mac or Linux box

Wrong. Completely wrong. Take "openplotter" for example. Not available for
windows. Not for OSX.
Take MuseScore. Also available for windows and OSX. *But* input via MIDI-
keyboard is not available for windows. Take "TYPO3". Available for windows,
but does not (and can not for technical reasons) provide the same
functionality.

There is tons of linux software which is either not available for windows or
has less functionality


Even if he wasn't wrong, it was a stupid "point" for him to try to
make.

What does a Honda Accord do that BMW 328 does not? Does that mean
that the choice isn't needed, that everyone could get-by just fine
with only one of the two?
