Other operating systems are not designed by programmrs, no. For the mainstream player definitions of 'Other'. Most of them are designed by a committee against what they interpret to be saleable or marketable features. Then there is also the user base issue - Which is why only a small subset of Webcams work on OSX, much much lesser in numbers than what works on Linux :D And almost NONE of the real enterprise type storage solutions work on OSX. And most telephony and DC managment systems dont really work on Windows. It does not fit the target demographic for the developers of these systems. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
