    Autodesk! All the others! Can you now, goddammit, for the sake of the mental health of your customers, start building your tools on platforms other than this crap? PLEASE? I mean I’m seriously considering building a parallel system running Linux for all my other office needs and just touch my Win-pc to run my CAD. I hope MS will continue in this way and ai-mercialize their OS more and more so hopefully the software providers will have enough at one point.

      At that point you might as well just use a windows VM for CAD. With desktop integration you hardly have to notice you’re using windows.

        I’ve certainly considered that, but have a hard time imagining a comparable performance with large assemblies. Any hands-on experiences?

          I have used a windows vm at a previous job for a closed source IDE we were required to use. I’ve never used AutoCAD, so I’m afraid I can’t help you there.
