In my world it is impossible for any one computer to do everything that I need to do with
a computer, thus my five active PCs and many spares, plus old stuff like my CP/M machines
in my personal museum. I don't use an MS-DOS machine to browse, and I don't use an
NT-series-OS machine to run MS-DOS programs that need UART register access that NT does
not allow.

But you are refusing to address the actual point here: people choosing
to use long-obsolete versions of Windows for everyday mainstream use,
which is suicidally risky.
