Suppose that Microsoft created a "good enough" operating system called "Windows Minimum" (WM).
They do that to an extent. Windows XP had 'Starter' edition, and Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, in addition to Embeded, Home and Professional versions. I wish they made the WFfLP available through retail. A stripped down version of XP, made to run on old computers, but still compatible with new (when it was made) software. None of the extras most people didn't need, and ran rather snappy compared to the regular XPs.
If such applications existed, Adobe wouldn't still be in business.
If such vehicles existed, GM wouldn't still be in business. Oh Wait.
With your bare hands?!?
