Odds are if he left there's the possibility their compensation situation might have changed for the worse if not leading to downsizing, that in the edge of a recession with plenty of competition out there.
We’ve heard this for every version of Windows for the past twenty years or more.
When XP was new, there were people refusing to upgrade from Win2000 to “Fischer-Price Windows”.
Well, all versions except Vista — everybody seemed happy to upgrade to Windows 7. (Of course the lesson Microsoft drew from that smooth upgrade was to blow up everything for the next version. “They want tablet interactions, they just don’t know it!”)
Win8 (and Win8.1) also had the same reception. People were, of course, more than happy to move to Win10, which contained most of the under-the-hood improvements from Win8 and had a more traditional UI. (Also, with Vista → 7, it didn't hurt that machines had gotten more powerful in the meantime, so the extra RAM usage didn't really matter much anymore.)
O no. I absolutely agree with the GP. I was fine with every windows after and including XP. Until I received a company laptop with win 11. I have a big fat list of things that are super annoying or bugs.
Anecdotal, but I went 2000 -> 7 -> 10, skipping XP, Vista, and 8. Given that cadence, will hopefully be skipping 11 as well and waiting for whatever is next.
You got a point in the optimization part, it's difficult to compare both chips when you're running on completely different OSs, specially when one of them ruins a specially optimized OS like ios
The closest it could get I think would be running a variant of Unix optimized for the Ryzen.
Not all the keys can change and the ones that can't are all Mac ones which limits the adoption of Windows users which like it or not are still the vast majority
the catch is, if we're really hiding, we must have got thousands of deaths by now. Just see how quickly it spread in Korea, Italy and Iran. Hiding (thus no action can be done) for 1.5 months is a sure way to suicide, given the amount of traffic in/out of Vietnam and the population density.
Or you can see that in the past week alone we got 27 cases, starting from 2 planes. And the number is low because we vigorously chased people down to test them all and quarantine them. Had we let them go loose those 2 cases alone could spread to hundreds.
