There are many altwrnatives for Windows, of course, and it's beautyful we can handle all of them using hmg and jmg.
Web technologies are great when you must work at client location.
But, I work in corporation, we have few web based apps, and they are very slow even with fiber optic links. Maybe bad architecture, or too expensive solutions for servers

Of curse, you can connect Keyboard/Mouse and most of other USB device just like we connect with Desktop PC, even wireless keyboard and mouse is best option
Windows 10 will support Raspberry Pi 3, which will be free [although I haven't tried this.]

Well, of course NOTHING will last forever....
Mainframes are still doing the job in banking, insurance, etc. and they were gone as dinosaurs? They have become greater and better!
Cobol - PL/I - DB2 dead and gone? See

It is working excellent, [one problem I can not test AJAX demo of JMG example, I need help from Roberto Lopez]
To test AJAX, you need to setup your own web server or to use one, from a web hosting server.
I have no experience setting up my own web servers on Linux, but you could easily install XAMPP on any Windows machine connected to your LAN to test AJAX.
Maybe in the next JMG release I should include a detailed tutorial about how to setup XAMPP...

One of my first experiences with computers was with a Wang VS-80 (a late 70's) computer, equivalent (more or less) to an IBM S/34. Even today, there is an emulator available for it, so, you could still run 70's software developed for such system, on a modern machine.
My point is that, I'm sure that WIN32, will be supported almost forever (at least while I'm still on earth

) so, there is no problem for us and for our HMG apps.
BUT:
Web technology, will give us a lot of great possibilities that WIN32 does not.
