Windows is 40 and its midlife milestone comes with a Linux-shaped crisis.

To not much official fanfare on Thursday, the Windows operating system turned 40 years old, marking four decades since Windows 1.0 debuted in the United States on November 20, 1985. Its midlife milestone comes with a crisis, though. Diehard Windows users are switching to Linux for a variety of reasons.

For one, gaming is finally better on Linux machines, which makes the moat Windows dug for itself a little more passable. Add to that the end of support for Windows 10 in October, the growing frustration among power users about Microsoft Recall, and the growing number of polarizing features, and power users are finding plenty of reasons to make the switch to Linux.

It’s unclear if the wave of Windows power users loudly moving to Linux has crested yet, or if this is just the beginning. That said, the past year has seen a flood of articles like this one, scores of posts on Reddit, and YouTube videos documenting and occasionally evangelizing the conversion to Linux.

    Already have provided 1 of many examples: classing. Applying a type to the communication relevant to the business

    This is not an example. What type of communication? Are you classing emails? Are you classing internal documents? Are you classing marketing material? Are you classing internal comms?

    To the process it could be scope, direction, decision ect. This can route, tag, extract, modify and move/copy messages automatically to target services

    This description screams “use a proper ticketing system” to me but, again, I feel like I don’t have enough information about the process you’re talking about.

    However jumping between apps is

    A badly designed process or the wrong app.

    So if someone can build an app like Outlook that has rich email, calendaring and pure depth of functionality that it has. This would be a massive barrier removal if not in my oppinion the last barrier for mass business FOSS adoption

    Again, this all sounds like you guys are using the wrong tools for the job, but would need to hear more details.
