Twenty years or so ago I’d give MS credit for helping spawn a global PC hardware industry by standardizing an OS platform. I figured not just the Nvidias and Intels but the Dells, the EVGAs, and the MSIs all were a net positive and supported by there being a windows. This was because I always compared them to Apple. So much more now I understand the folly of being limited to comparing the bad choices and ignoring the good options.
