Of course not; and very understandable given what your posts show where
you're coming from.

But my statement stems more from decades long suffering in contexts of
folks who constantly repeat the MS marketing division's advertisements
how good their IT stuff is, their OS and software tools. They presented
bad systems and bad software, bad in any respect, non-standard, buggy,
and continued for decades not implementing state of the art software of
minimum necessary quality. - I'm sure your mileage varies.
