I'm saying that if Microsoft made a bunch of different and vaguely compatible versions of Windows and then tried to support all of them at the same time, it would be a harder on customers (which version do I buy?) and software designers (is this software compatible with all versions?) not to mention Microsoft trying to give each of them attention.If you were an enthusiast (and let's not pretend we all aren't) you could cite the differences between the different distros and determine the best fits for yourself and others. But the public who doesn't know computers would not understand why they can't install Steam on the ARM version of Windows or why where the start menu went. The trade off for choice is complexity. D&D has opted for larger choice at the cost of increased complexity. For us, that's not a ln issue because we accept that complexity. But for others, well there is a certain charm to "turn it on and it works out of the box" computing that Apple provides. But you can't argue Windows forums are full of the kind of technical support questions that you don't see as much on a Mac forum. And right now, we're a bunch of PC enthusiasts who can't understand why so many users do basic stuff wrong. Because most people can't handle much beyond a Mac level of complexity but use Windows because it's the industry standard. And so we are cursed to have the lore equivalent of "how do I find my file?" Over and over again ...</blockquote>
