Post From: Understanding Sierra Chart Work to Port To Linux and Windows is Doomed

I understand you guys have a stance on Microsoft. A lot of us I'm assuming have Windows desktops/laptops. You mentioned, "Traders are going to have to get off of Windows, and onto Linux or Mac, and use Sierra Chart."; are you saying when that time comes that we won't be able to use Sierra Chart at all on Windows, and that we'd have to get another machine that has a Linux base instead?

It would be great if Sierra Chart continues to have great usability with Windows PCs, as Microsoft 365 products like Excel, Word, etc. are heavily used. Based on my research, for multi-monitor workflow with different operating systems, it could be time consuming to transition between the two even with KVM switches unless one has the highest quality product.

If Windows Operating System does become doomed, I think they'd still do well since it's only ~10% of Microsoft's revenue.
