At any one time I typically have around 4 PCs, usually 3 laptops and 1 desktop. 5 years ago they were all running Windows. Today it's 1 Mac, 2 Ubuntu, 1 Windows. If they withdraw support for Win 10 then that PC will go to Ubuntu also. I tried Win11 for a week and was appalled at the blatant attempts to pull me into the Microsoft ecosystem. That ain't going to happen. I don't trust Microsoft enough.
So, it seems I'm being asked to trade in my sleek racing bike for a junior bike with training wheels because it is safer. I've got a better idea, for developers to learn the skills required to use dynamic memory allocation safely. I've been doing that for over 30 years and not had a memory-related crash in that time. Let's stop trying to save 'copy-and-paste' coders from themselves.
