really? And you think the recession did not touch you yet? I bet you could find a million ways to earn $70 within a year instead. I guess that would be too easy?
SAN JOSE, Calif.--When it was announced that Nintendo president Satoru Iwata would be delivering a keynote speech at the Game Developers Conference this year, the event's organizers said he would "inspire developers to take risks and mine the depths of their imaginations to create innovative games regardless of the size of teams or budgets."
Where do we find this guy's phone number. Maybe he has some extra money to give to everyone.
Some credit is to be given for all the efford put but since you put the efford you you might as well
used XHTML and CSS with all the fuss going on with standards compliant browsers. No matter how you put it you are still behind..... Sad isn't it?
You might be right. It has a lot of bugs. It is also an enormous and highly complex application in case you did not notice. Compared to your preferred fairly simple text editor(s) is has a lot of bugs. But it also saves tons of time in developing applications, which translates into increased profits. There's the difference to me.
Taking an average computer user you have a serious
problem to deal with. The users limited ability to
use the computer and of course their little to non
exixstent knowledge of how a computer really works. There are millions average computer users
and yet very few are can be considered power users and even fewer are like you, me and everybody else in this forum.
The key to this problem is simplicity. In other words Windows. It is easy to use. The drawback on that is of course security and stability. But you know what, they are secure and stable enough for people to use them. And if you really know to use them there is littile possibility security holes and viruses will affect you. I do not even remember when was the last time my machine got infected with a virus. And yes I am running windows.
Obviously Microsoft targeted the masses, something Linux does not and something Apple lately started to do. In addition to that Microsoft is there to make money! And it does it very very well. And yes, Bill Gates IS a genius. And no I do not think so is a bad person. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation worths 24 Billion!!! That is not bad at all!
See it from the business point of view. I bet if you were him you would do exactly the same or maybe worse.
And as for the viruses. Why someone would want to write a virus for other OSs since close to 70% or more of the users have windows.If I was to write one I would go for the masses. There is no point chasing the few...
Simplicity + Business = Microsoft
Just a few thoughts of mine.

It's not the API. It's the programmer ...
