ReactOS, which is referred to sometimes as the Open source Windows, has received another major update. Following wider UEFI bootability, the OS has now got an upgraded installation setup GUI.
I was sysadmin for a Bankruptcy and Insolvency Firm for more than a decade and walked into 100s of businesses on the point of failure. Many of them could not be saved simply because their systems were so bad it was better for a buyer to buy their equipment and start with a clean sheet.
The ice cream business was going under because the partner who had been the access self starter had an argument with the others and had walked out 18months ago.
The access system ran the entire business (accounting and wages were on other programs but the db feed them data) and he was the only one who had any idea.
Shit started to go wrong and they had no idea what to do.
I’m grateful that my company is actively improving processes and working on very necessary rewrites but damn some of these systems make me cringe having to work on them. I’m just a dev so I can’t even imagine the rage you must’ve faced at those jobs lol

It is truly insane how much of this world relies on systems like these
I know, I have seen them.
