I wonder if this is why apple threw so much weight into helping improve GCC? so they could use the "unbias" OSS combiler for there benifit. if so i wonder if other companies will start 'helping out' GCC?
i like the idea, that SW are the tools you use but that leaves the HW in limbo in this analogy. the only though i could find fitting would be that the HW is the world we are doing the building with in, ie some matterials are better made in the vacum of space. so yes it does play a part, but mostly if you knowledge leads you in one dirrection, use it. ie if you dont like space enought to save money working there, dont. its your money.
