At this point, people on Windows don't care how bad it gets. They're captive.
Yup, my work software is not on Linux for some stupid reason. None of the specialized software I would need were I to go back into my old profession is on Linux. I even emailed the manufacturers of the 2 big reliable software packages and they just said they had no plans to develop it anytime soon abs the dude I was talking with did not know WINE. That's the extent of my Linux knowledge tho so...
I think that the era of platform locked internal tools is close to being over, at least for smaller organizations.
AI sucks for innumerable reasons, but the ability to create internal tooling for specialized systems is now something that organizations of smaller and smaller sizes can now take advantage of. IE, write a printer interface that does xyz for our machine and integrates with CUPS instead of a windows print server. Now we can save a Windows server license and an expensive proprietary software license.
AI is still absolutely terrible though. Never open a port to anything vibe coded ever.
