Windows 3.1, launched in 1992, is likely not getting any updates. So, when CrowdStrike pushed the faulty update to all its customers, Southwest wasn’t affected (because it didn’t receive an update to begin with).
Aside from Windows 3.1, Southwest also uses Windows 95 for its staff scheduling system.
One X user suggested that the company switch to Windows XP—it’s also no longer updated, and it can run Windows 3.1 applications via compatibility mode.
I thought you were gonna make a joke about linux users having to fix some random issue that popped up on linux
Idk… it’s been a while since I used it and I always had issues that took hours to troubleshoot. lol
I always find you spend the time up front with Linux, mostly. All the issues come at the start but once they’re settled it’s generally stable.
I could totally get on board with that.
I’ll definitely do it once I work up the energy… or more likely Microsoft forces me to move. lol
