Re: 1998
Frankly Windows installs have given me more issues.
Just this last week, it couldn't detect the capabiliyies of the card, and I had to force the res and refresh rate.
Mint, no such issue.

My wife was looking for some Adobe products - mostly Photoshop, and some InDesign -- because of the industry she works in just before one of the previous price hikes / gouge.
Ended up using a lower cost alternatives - Serif is a good shout....
Adobe tryung to stay relevant on name/reputation but losing both....
They've flooded the fire, so no go from me.
The speed as which they alienated people takes some beating, and now it is definitely in a death spiral.
Bridges have been burnt, and it wasn't as if they didn't know there were very good alternatives out there.
If thev had no competition, you'd say fair enough - what choice do we have? Unfortunately, there is and we'll use the competition.
You miss my actual point, which I didn't make clear.
Like a previous commenter said, this is functionality that nobody needs. Jo Bloggs wouldn't care. The techies that do care will happily pay for their VPN subs.
I and many others would rather the browser devs improve the browser in every other way except that.
I could tell my Dad what it helps do, but I can guarantee that he'll listen but never understand what it does, and he'll never switch it on.
Years ago 40 of us had full WFH contracts when we joined (UK based)
Out of nowhere the mandate to work from your nearest office came through.
We all said - not happening - then we were invited to find another employer by our Canadian employer.
Given some of us were 80 miles from the nearest office, we took the opportunity to look elsewhere.
How many of us took that offer/opportunity to find elsewhere? All of us!! In 6 weeks, they'd lost their entire team of techies, and desperately hired contractors to fill the void.
Where were these contractors? Bangalore!! How much knowledge of the business did they have, or the industry the business was in? Absolutely none at all.
When i went to the affectionally named 'Nobby Green' school (S41 Newbold area of Chesterfeild), I cut my teeth on BBC Bs and Commodore PETS. BBC used rimarily for Chuckie Egg and copious minutes of Revs and Elite.
My first homer was a C64, andf then I graduated to mudslinging to ST owners at college when I had an Amiga 500.
Happy days of linking by cable with friends for Stunt Car Racer, Populous et al...
Completely overlooking the fact that customers are currently pinned in because they can't get off the driverless bus towards a cliff in the short term.
Rest assured those same customers are probably all bringing migration away to the top of the to-do list.
When that time comes to pass, Broadcom will see VMWare revenue drop off the proverbial cliff with the bus, but the passengers will be safely off it.
Yes, but isn't it the case that these are multi-year contracts?
If that is the case, then you've just received a few windy days, before the hurricane really rolls in.
No amount of storm chasers will save you when the bulk come in for renewal later.
Some will renew, simply because they haven't yet got a plan to migrate in the short term.
They will have one long term for sure, unless your product has no competitors.
Some will (are?) treat it as a priest no matter what, and listen to its ramblings.. much like a regular service then!
Many would argue, and I will poke the bear (not the kids), that it has more intelligence than those who go to Church regularly and then think it does them good.
I'm now going to hide in a corner and see the results of stirring the Jesus Hornets.
I keep arguing this.
Conversation runs like...
Moving on-prem SQL to Azure- we'll save money.... ha, yea right
Want to get data in it? Use ADF - while the rest of us want to be agnostic - Aitflow/Prefect/Mage etc... to avoid that lockin
Of course, after a few years, moving from Azure (or any other cloud) back to on-prem - or to a competing cloud is damn night impossible, or very costly.
This - you are not wrong.
My background in MSSQL highlighted this..
In MSSQL, (for those that didn't know).generally you could detach the DB, then attach it to the newer version and stuff would just run pretty painlessly. It would default to the 'compatibility' of what it came from, and you might want to update statistics etc.
When I was lumbered with Postgres and needed to upgrade, it felt like I was pulled back 20 years.
