The only reason Prayut signed.

Coincidentally, the last Microsoft product I got (mildly) excited about was MS-DOS 4.01, in the late 1980s.

So 4.0 published around 3rd quarter 2017. Thats pretty impressive speed from Microsoft.

luckily I have worked myself out of all Microsoft products. don't need that s..t anymore.

Go the FOSS way and you have a happy it presence.
