That's my original point: Windows isn't objectively better but is isn't as bad as people paint most of the time.
What makes Windows win over the market effectively is 1) popularity driven by more users, 2) specialized software that you can't find for Linux and 3) a development ecosystem that's hard to replicate elsewhere.
But... there are a lot of industry specific use cases where Adobe and MS Office still have the upper hand. We can't for, instance, get a replacement Office with an MS Project that does all the cool things between it, Excel and Dynamics NAV to provider a solution for project management across an entire business. After all we're talking about a cross-application solution that is capable of going from checklists, reports, Gantt and Kanban to feeding information in an out the ERP taking data from accounting, RH, manufacturing, logistics to through sales. We can try (and I would like to see it that way) to replicate it with other tools but the level of pain and development time is way too big.
Oh yeah.
I almost forgot about MS Project.
There was once a time I looked for an alternative to Project. Then I found one (probably used it a bit) and forgot. I think the alt wasn't as fully featured as MS Project and that gives MS Office a big win.
No idea, never used it. No comments.
