It would be interesting to see Microsoft fight this with an army of canaries, one or more for each of its customers.
Nobody argued with Linux. But please tell me the last time you've seen a MIPS or SPARC server in a modern data center with your own eyes, as opposed to, say, x86 ones.
Every time, they are called Cisco switches, running Linux on MIPS.
You shoud go fix Wikipedia and tell them that Cisco IOS is Linux. That may surprise a few people, like Cisco or Linux people.
It may surprise a few Cisco or Linux people who have been living in a hole that the world including Cisco have moved on since the 90s.

Instead they use the rpi's GPIOs (using spi or something ) to interface with the display.
The display update rate is awful, useless for video and marginal for scrolling. Also it consumes the SPI port which is usually why one gets a raspberry pi in the first place.
FWIW, I have had Pies since they were first released and have never used the SPI port.
Nokia had the best hardware in the world but a terrible outdated OS. Then Microsoft came and killed the best hardware and replaced the OS with an even worse one.
Depends on what OS you mean - if Symbian then you are right, but Maemo/MeeGo/Harmattan were far ahead of their time.
Yes. I had a N900 and it was brilliant. Then when that OS was killed I got a Jolla.
This might sound strange, but I sure wish the younger generations would get over themselves and "grow up".
No, I think this more has to do with a combination of hubris and Red Hat capturing a number of open source utility projects.
Yes.
