Uh, have you seen what those same 20 year olds are doing with FOSS
today?  Half of the newer programming languages are almost impossible
to package because their build systems just download random
dependencies online, are statically linked, and so on.

You're not going to avoid these problems by avoiding Microsoft.  Also,
it seems like half of this whole discussion is as dated as the 1991
post on that website...
