Posted by Hemos on Monday July 4, 2005 @12:06AM from the why-indeed dept.

Udo Schmitz writes "Look at this as kind of a followup to an article from yesterday, which was weak and boring although the author had a point. Enter Wil Shipley of Omni Group and Delicious Monster fame. At WWDC 2005 he gave a talk (PDF) about why he develops software for the Mac, when "all the other kids" are programming for Windows. Choice quote: "Windows users only ever use three apps: Word, IE (for e-mail), and iTunes"."

YAY for space!

Not wanting to veer too far OT, but having read another story on /. I was inspired to reply to your point in pictorial form. I just found this picture of a bunch of open source developers - they seem quite happy to me, certainly not starving ;^)
