nonethewiser | on: Uber's $1,500/month AI limit is a useful signal for AI tool pricing
XP? I can see the argument for enterprise support but in that case the latest windows OS is going to be virtually free and I dont know if MS and Dell etc. would even support an XP machine. Might even be required for hardware. If no enterprise support wouldnt Linux make a lot more sense?

I get that if it's offline the security downside of XP doesnt matter, and I assume XP is free, but being free doesnt really seem that valuable compared to alternatives (free linux and virtually free OS if buying wholesale).

"Windows XP+Dell" should have been in quotes. It's similar to the way enterprise productivity software was developed, packaged co-designed with hardware, and sold on an 18mo upgrade cycle assumption. It's not literally windows xp.

Oh gotcha. Yeah that's an interesting idea.
