Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: but will it run windows?
No I did not say that.
What I am saying, is most people install 100 programs, one of them acts like crap and they blame it on the OS.
Because there is 5 million people programming for Win32 and probably 2 million of them suck, that is not at all the OS's fault.
The problem (in my opinion) stems from there is too many people coding for the os and too many hardware manufactors putting out code and hardware. It is almost impossible to guarentee compatability, much less competent code.
There api is fairly open, it is almost completely published. Although it is not open source or anything of that nature.

So you're saying, unless you run only M$ products it still sucks. They need to tighten up and open up the API's. Then windows would be great.
