Solidworks, RFEM, other niche applications only run on Windows...

I made the switch to Google Workspace and Docs years ago...

At a recent company used the Microsoft largely for teams, but there are so many unnecessary headaches and time consuming log-ins (each taking a few seconds that continually add up) that the next paradigm cannot come soon enough...

The best way off Microsoft is via the browser... Vanilla JS Webgl etc

Prediction: we are less than a year away from this becoming a reality...

Edit: Possible solution: simply boot into a browser, with an underlying cloud syncing filesystem with trusted circles of sharing...

How many seconds would be required to go from power button to accepting input in this paradigm?
