So what are you going to use?  Specifically for the desktop?

I also do not like using WEENDOZE 7, and refuse to boot up 10.

What you do is design and implement the required interfaces.  Not so 
hard.  It's even somewhat good to totally segregate some things.  Easier 
to determine where problems exist.

It's amusing to see the suggestions to "port".  40 years of specific 
business logic just doesn't get re-implemented all that easily.  Or 
cheaply.  Sort of tough to get a businessman to pay to re-implement 
something he already has.
