Everyone doing web development switched to using then-OS X back in the aughts because we could run the entire stack locally, natively. And the keyboards worked.
Seems like soon youโll be able to do the same on Windows. Where the keyboards work.

Rather than emulating the Linux kernel, Windows will now ship a full Linux kernel. Makes for a great developer system for those deploying to Linux servers

I use WSL a fair amount, but itโs frankly not frequently updated or kept in great shape. Looking forward to WSL2 but itโs sort of the same situation as iOS for iPad. Lots of potential but seems to be often backburnered

The new vstudio in a docker container stuff is compelling too- run your IDE from a cheap surface, and get great performance, easy to set up for your team. OSXโs licensing has made Apple miss the boat on containerization, especially for xcode. Hope WWDC fixed that.

So the word is that the Mac Pro is going to be stackable pizza boxes and not ship until 2020.

My work is PC for office stuff, Linux for all of our MFG and Operations data extraction/crunching/scripting, accessed remotely from Windows. The more I can do natively from Windows, while all of our data is on our Linux networks, the happier I'll be

Plus all our useful third party OS X tools and utilities now tell us theyโre from unknown developers and make us jump through hoops before launching ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ

Indeed. I have a definite preference for macOS for the computer in front of me, but when my 2014 MBP finally fails I can't in good conscience spend the company's money on a butterfly keyboard.
Dude, I'm getting a Dell.

Writing is most clearly on the wall this week!
Do you think this all stems from a review on why they failed at mobile? Developers preferred developing stuff on macs. Or do you think itโs totally unrelated to mobile?
