I don't know if it's just me that find it highly interesting that they choose to run Windows for these kind of things? Anyone able to elaborate the reasons for this? Surely this just costs them so much extra having to buy licenses for each of these screens...?

Please do correct me or clarify this for me 🌻

Linux is not always the answer, and free to install isn’t always cheap.

Was actually thinking FreeBSD...
