[sdiy] Circuit Simulators

[Kylee Kennedy]

Windows is 78% of the computer market, it is not a niche.

Some apps are only on one OS and that stinks. But I can tell a bunch of
these responses come from ignorance because Windows 10 is vastly improved
over all the previous versions. You don't need to secure it since
anti-virus and firewalls are built in now. Maintenance is as easy as
allowing Windows to update in the background.

I wanted to continue to love Mac OSX but after Mojave they broke all 32 Bit
apps. I can still run 32 Bit apps on 64 Bit Windows. Apple deliberately
makes their old hardware obsolete via the OS so you are forced to upgrade.
I have a MacMini2009 that can't run the latest OSX but runs Windows 10
perfectly. In fact my older audio interfaces work better than ever now
under this OS. Because the developers found it easier to maintain the code
for Windows over Mac.
Windows even comes with a Linux Kernel built right into it now.

I'm not trying to convert someone from desoldering with wick only and
telling them to use a desoldering gun instead. Just that each OS has its
strengths and weaknesses. If the apps you use are only on one OS then
that's your solution.
