Computer science is mostly theory. Think algorithms and data structures, not Windows-specific software and settings. What you’re talking about is IT, though some universities don’t separate them properly.

I know what compsci is, but it’s no longer what it was in the past. It’s now the catch all for most IT jobs. Dev included. And a ton of software is developed for windows because windows is the most dominant os in the world. This isn’t some dig at Linux or macos, it’s just the facts.

Not in either of the universities I’ve been to. You can go study IT if you want the catch-all, computer science is computer science and is NOT meant to be job prep. In fact, you’re expected to go to vocational college for job prep, not an academic university.
