This whole post is unmitigated batshit insanity. You will find no need to look behind and a safe clear path ahead Paul

just get rid of those greedy irresponsible jerks of Microsoft. since the 90s to today but for sure the very first option is KiCAD. Direct replacement - Once done - find a proper way to convert all your data and your EDA business. the very one most recommended (which I have done very frequently for others.) is LINUX MINT. options today do exist: - in the very first place: DITCH THAT WHOLE SHIT from these jerk assholes and (re)assume control (back) over your privacy and YOUR BUSINESS Do this TODAY - do not wait a minute longer - you can very easily replace their private shit with some "generic" Linux distro. What happens is that very soon you will have to upgrade your hardware as they want, their software - as they way - and the whole new "LICENSE" crap shit-ware their jerk asshole lawyers want from you to sign regardless options of liabilities they would ever assume. Here it is: - What to expect when you/we give to Microsoft greedy jerk assholes total control over our life data, our privacy but worst of all - OUR BUSINESS ? - I have seen people blindly putting faith in those faceless assholes trusting their private software and methods to run their extortive algorithm over and over and over again and again.

Because I have been there through the 80s and 90s all along until options arise.
