I wish the crew quoted "there is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark."

Wow, very cool and lot's of respect!

But... why not use linux, unix, custom OS, iPad, Android, Nintendo SNES, Atari, Commodore 64... anything BUT Microsoft?

(Seriously though, why not Linux? I'd really appreciate if you could answer, thank you! )

That gives me so many questions: Should there be a non-Earth timezone? How do you define a "day" in space? Is there a day light saving in space?

At least they are not travelling near the speed of light. That's a whole different can of worms.

AI was mostly based on machine learning, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there were very primitive AI/ML examples even decades ago. Thus, I agree with the parent.

No worries, me too. And I agree with you as well.

Good point.

OTOH, in that sense, internet (or more specifically, WWW) is technically built in Europe, so can we say WWW is a European product? :D

Not OP, but my experience was most of the malware-like apps on App Store were top ads of apps with names similar to the original ones: such as Whatsapp or Office.

I geniunely wonder if Windows G's start menu also use React and if the start menu, right click or Windows Search still sucks in Windows G or not :)

Not op, and I generally agree with your assumption but not for Microsoft, as I don't think it's limited to Windows:

Teams, Office (especially online), One Drive, SharePoint, Azure, GitHub, LinkedIn, all became very shitty and partially unusable with increasing number of weird bugs or problems lately.

> Then invest in and attract people to build it. I'd move to Europe if the salary was competitive.

True that. Also in many countries in Europe, IT jobs are not "special" anymore and salaries are similar to the median.
