Yeah, I guess in my fantasy I was Assuming that windows would do a full rewrote and adopt the unix abi, but I know that wouldn’t happen.

Mainstream is about to collapse. The exploitation nonsense is faltering. Open source is emerging as the only legitimate player.
I’m a die hard open source fan but that still feels like a stretch. I remember 10 years ago we were theorizing that windows would get out of the os business and just be a shell over a unix kernel, and that never made it anywhere.
I will vote and scream and cry against it, but Boeing is likely too big to fail. Boeing and Airbus are the only game in town (in the west).
I agree with you, but nothing he workers asked for seems to do any of that. Rather it will “balloon” payroll and the c suite will look for ways to make their money. This is all assuming that boeing has been doing what other companies have been, and focusing on stock buybacks and getting money back to shareholders.
I’m with you in the long term.
I am curious what kernel is backing the computers on the stuff SpaceX is doing. I’ve never seen their consoles but I am guessing we are closer to modern reusable hardware and software than we were before. When niche applications like that keep getting more diverse, i bet we will get more open specifications so everything can work together.
But again I am more pessimistic and think 50 years would be relatively early for something like that.
