Once we analyze it, i bet you would know the answer. ![]() XMan, good question about windows crashing. Why does Adobe, Kona, Macromedia, etc even make software for the Mac if what you say is true? How is Apple staying in business? They just did a stock split and outlived IBM’s PC division? How are they doing it? I would really like to know how many Macs are in use. I guess thats why some of the biggest software makers like Microsoft make software for the Mac. Is that right? Total Macs in use account for 2%. Whaz up with crashing?Īs far as the 2% marketshare thing. Your talking about an OS that has an R&D budget several times bigger than Apple. Hey thats all good, but if the dev tools are that good why does Windows crash at CES. – Windows documentation (DDK and MSDN) provides a very complete and thorough details” “Good things i like when i develop in windows: They are exceptions however, most quality hardware makers tend to have linux driver. I should copy this and post it when ever I get an somebody complaining that Mac is better than windows.Īs far as linux and drivers are concern, it ain’t OSS fault, Its the fact that very few companies release their hardware specification so that OSS drivers can be made, and they themselves don’t release drivers for linux. These are exactly why windows own most of the market. me shakes wolf’s hand for putting up a solid defense. People like this author can only bitch about things and that too stupid things like My document is above my computer owaaaan ( why is it above my computer owaannn ( Overall windows provides everything i need from an OS, it is one place where i get all my computing needs done…I bet this author never developed any system software or she would know how damn hard it is to develop that on MAC with their inconsistent and insufficient documentation. – I can use ANY and i mean ANY hardware on Windows and it works…Not like Linux where my sound card doesn’t work – Windows documentation (DDK and MSDN) provides a very complete and thorough details – Windows has excellent assembler and disassembler (Hint: IDA Pro, Process Explorer) – Windows has excellent debuggers (ever heard of SoftIce, Windbg)? ![]() Good things i like when i develop in windows: If UNIX was for programming then tons of system programmers won’t code for Windows. then theres the manditory reboot every few days when things just get wonky… thats the first place i would look) or trying to use that horrendous beast of a config system they call the registry. the windows system directory requires a rosetta stone of some sort to navigate (hosts file? ahh, that would be in C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc. i have tried many, many things with the taskbar to get it to suck less, theres just nothing you can do. i remember the initial few months on windows, i enjoyed tinkering with stuff, but found so much that was just deeply stupid (many of which were mentioned). i was a mac user who went to windows for a year or two, then linux, and will soon be going back to mac (as the finances permit). I thoughly enjoyed the article (printing it out and reading it on the way home, wasnt too tough). and these are the apps that are ALWAS open…. ive got the db ide, a terminal with my local appserver, my java/jsp ide, my text editor, our bug tracker, our source versioning system, outlook, firefox pointing to the project tracker and whatever function i was last looking for(and sometimes osnews -)), itunes, and an intermitant soulseek.
