Plenty of them across Europe to keep me and other devs busy until retirement.

macOS is largely insignificant in many countries over here outside iOS shops, GNU/Linux hardly matters for consumers, the Web still fails short of many native scenarios and mobile devices are mainly for consumption.



I agree that native Mac software is insignificant, desktop software is insignificant to most consumers period. Except for apps made by Microsoft,Adobe, and who else besides game makers are making software for PCs?

I’m nowhere near Silicon Valley, but I can say that hardly any money is going into desktop software development. Companies are following Microsoft’s lead. Even c# shops are strategizing how to get rid of their Windows dependencies by going to .Net Core.


Plenty of factory automation, medical research device companies, control panels for car monitoring devices, ticket selling machines, and lots of IoT devices deployed with Windows only UIs, some of them now migrating from Windows Embedded into IoT Core variants.
