The very best trait of computing is that it is many things to many people. The notion that is can be done anyway on most any chuck of hardware scaled to any size is just plain mind-boggling. Software has always tickled my brain, and I am sure it does yours.

I have 32K processors communicating by cell modules to a couple of cloud servers. One is Linux, the other is Windows. I am using homemade protocols and popular IOT protocols, depending on the application and customer preference. The cold hard truth is, I love the whole pile of crap end-to-end.

I do, however, enjoy being the devil's advocate. There is a demon within me that cries to get out as often as possible. ;-D

See? I knew I could find a reasonable and understanding person in the room.

I don’t care what people use, as long as it serves their needs and doesn’t become burdensome with high costs or complex/complicated handling.

Munich had problems in all directions, mostly stemming from an IT department which made their initial decisions by hating on Microsoft and loving Linux(which is always popular to do).
