abstract:A specific legacy (or specific bequest) is a testamentary gift of a precisely identifiable object, distinguished from all other things of the same kind — such as, a gift of a particular piece of jewelry.
Even if we all stopped writing new code for Windows (as, to some extent is true, we have done, much writing is now being done in Python and so on which is not platform or OS specific) right now then there are vast numbers of legacy systems out there that will continue to require Windows licenses for decades to come.
