To be perfectly honest, building software for a fixed set of hardware products is a piece of cake. Doing it for every bit of hardware on this earth, yeah, that is PITA. So, even though I don't like MS at all, I have to hand it to them in the conpatibility department. Not as backwards compatible as Linux, but they sure are a close second. Buidling software for an already stable as fuck platform (*BSD) is a lot easier, plus you already know what hardware it's gonna run on, lol. You cherry pick security/bug fixes and everything else regarding optimizations gets thrown under the carpet... and of course you charge your customers for the security/bug fixes, that's always a plus 👍. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [This comment has been deleted by an automated system] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 1 point 2 years ago* MS realized that the way into the future is making the OS a subscription, like Apple did. Yes Apple were first, MS copied. You see something that's good, you adjust to implement it on your terf. Regarding the charging for updates part, I don't actually own a Mac, so it's just what I've read over the years online. I'm sorry if I made a mistake on that part. You do have a point though about MS passing the ball to the manufacturers regarding the drivers. Still, even with just the native drivers, Windows supports a lot more hardware than MacOS does. Regarding the NT kernel vs the *BSD one, I just don't agree. Sure, the team behind it might be top notch, but in my experience the *BSD kernel is more stable. Sure, lack of drivers, smaller user base, but if you manage to get everything running, any of the BSD flavors is rock solid.
