Luckily, to replace most of the Office applications, their respective online web applications work very well. That wouldn't be a major issue in migrating to Linux.

New comment by scaglio in "2k-year-old wine and the uncanny immediacy of the past"

Fascinating! The wine discovery reminds me one scene from the book 'The Dark Forest'[0] when the protagonist drinks a wine from some centuries before... spoiler: it wasn't good.

YES! IBM's Fix Central, or how it's called, it's literally a maze.

And I hate Oracle's and Red Hat's paywalls, even if I can understand their presence.

Yes, absolutely, I didn't mean to blame him. But from Windows 95 to 11 something could have been improved, from MS.

I'm disappointed: I can't see any comments about the awful .zip file integration in modern Windows version. Extracting the files requires a pop-up or a non-intuitive context menu.
