Apple Win32 to OS X Porting Guide
BoomerSooner writes "Apple has released a Win32 to Mac OS X Porting Guide for C/C++ developers.
This Guide is to get you started porting an existing procedural Win32 application written in C or C++ to Mac OS X.
It looks like Apple is getting a bit more aggressive toward Microsoft."
Damn dont you you know the MAC has all the killer apps? I have two linux boxes, a Powerbook, and a Windows PC at home. Plus dedicated Red Hat Box sitting on the net. I am happy. Linux boxes are for me to play around with the OS and learn more about it, little NAT happening, little Apache. Powerbook for reliability and to keep my abreast of OSX. For when I don't need to think, watch dvds on the road. Dedicated box, for customers and it was absurdly cheap. 120 gigs, 1 gig of ram, and 400 gigabyties of transfer a month. 109 bucks monthly. A must have at that price. Kicking Red Hat. The PC runs windows 2000. For office, visio, and web browsing, and gaming, and a bunch of other little apps that are windows only, and I use cygwin to hit my other boxes. I love UNIXes in general. I love OS's in general. So I keep many around as possible and use each for its features that the other doesn't have. And I am not going to limit myself to one and limit my personal productivity. The MAC community is like the Linux community. Always screaming they have all the APPs in the world, and Windows sucks. Well, it just aint true, and I for one aint gotta take no subsitutes or "it will be there in a few years" arguements. Unix for webserving and servers. No other, will accept no other. MAC- Well maybe Final Cut Pro, but Windows and Linux have more productivity apps for them. Apart or together. And fellows, mac didnt invent UNIX, they made a smart move. I think this is a good thing for the Mac community that they are releasing this. Gets some more apps out there, get some more people to try apple. But it is gonna be funny to see what the community thinks of this. Linux should take some hints. Apple is taking a better move. We have wine, which is not the way to go. Puto
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
....Microsoft buys Apple software makers and forces them convert all future development to PC only.
