Sounds straight from a 90's Microsoft marketing department, I'm glad not everyone listened back then.

More users is definitely a feature though.

tbh microsoft was the best choice in the 90s.

the only reason linux became useful is because it became popular.

For some domains, But certainly not all, Windows was arguably a better choice, but even then it was more Windows NT vs Novell than Unix.

I don’t recall Microsoft ever getting much traction in the racks of ISPs or in “big iron” installations, not until the late 90s... and even then it was tenuous.

Microsoft was a terrible choice for IP networking, for example. Changing the IP address of a server would require a reboot.

The majority of the work I did in the 90s was on HPUX and DGUX, but also a bunch of others. There was a lot more OS diversity back in the day.
