I've heard it said that MS uses fresh-out-of-school
grads for a lot of implementation work, but
experienced developers for design.
I dunno if this is true, but it explains a lot,
if it is.

I don't know. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't at least keep a

<flame>
Why are KDE and Gnome both attempting to replicate Microsoft Windows
when technologies like XML and CORBA would make something so much
more elegant possible?
Why are they still coding user interfaces in C or C++ when XML would
be so much better?
Consider this: Imagine an XML markup language for defining user
interfaces using GTK or QT. Tags might look something like this:
<button name="cancel" inheritThemes="yes" text="Cancel"
onClick="some::kind::of::object:address()"/>
Then every user interface including the desktop could be declared
in XML. Users could customize interfaces or write.. get this.. whole
new ones that draw upon the functionality of multiple applications!
Imagine being able to write your own XML interface definition to
merge, say, a seperate mailreader and web browser together! Or a
code editor and a debugger? Don't like how the menus work in
your application? Open a text editor and change them!
It would also be much easier and more flexible for app authors since
they literally would not have to worry about the pains of X and GUI
programming... they could just write their XML to call their event
functions through an ORB of some kind. Applications could even
be controlled over the network via CORBA or something similar.
That would be like, totally 2001 man!
But instead the KDE and Gnome teams are sitting there listening
to Totally 80s trying to duplicate Windoze and coding UIs in
C and C++ that look and feel like Windoze when even M$ is
gradually moving towards something like I mentioned above.

Excellent. I was aware of the bad predictions, especially about the
internet. There was a funny article about that at Salon. It's clear
Gates was less aware of the internet in 1995 than the average
computer user was a year or two earlier. But I never knew about
this little gem about factoring primes.

They don't really need MS's source to do delegates,
any more than they need Sun's source to do the
rest of Java.

You seem very sure that there is *no* overlap
between what a "profit seeking competitive firm"
might do and what a "criminal monopoly" might do.
It is not obvious why competitive strategies
that you would approve of (if there are any)
would not work for MS.

> MFC is an API; no licensing is necessary or possible.
No. MFC is a framework and to use it you must
have the source. Licensing is required. Win32 is
the API under it, but it is not MFC.

No. They write their own frameworks. Because
quite simply, MFC isn't very good.
Amusing factoid: MFC is reasonably portable,
and can compile using compilers other than
Microsofts. Borland's Delphi framework is
otherwise- it uses special Borland-specific
C++ extensions, so it won't work on anybody
else's compiler.
The extension, by the way, is quite a lot
like J++'s delegates.
Is Borland a villain? Is what they did reprehensible?

You need source to get any framework to work; in a sense,
that's what makes a framework different from an API;
it's why frameworks are usually easier to work with, and
it's also why can abandon backwards compatibility with
comparative impunity.

No, he's right. Microsoft has an assembler, but the bulk
of their efforts in this area has gone into higher-level
kinds of things- especially IDEs, actually.

You confuse your own claims with "history" here;
the notion that MS has only written a small fraction of
the software sold under their label is, well,
unique to yourself.

It was. It was the best. Better Win16 compatibility
than Windows 95, as I understand it.

If you stick to developing a Windows-compatiblity
system, you will lose because MS will always
be ahead of you- working on new features while
you copy what they already have.
You need to run out in front of the parade.

IBM and HP would be surprised to hear this (SGI perhaps less so) The same
is often said about VMS, OS/400, MPE and other oddball proprietary OSes,
but each of those represent multi billion dollar revenues per year for
their respective owners. And AIX and HP-UX are certainly still providing
more revenue than OS/400 and MPE.
I'd hate to have to work with those dinosaur OSes, but I understand
consultants with years of knowledge in them do better than I do as a
consultant doing HP-UX, Solaris, EMC, etc (let alone anyone doing Linux
or MS stuff) Maybe when those things are considered dinosaurs I'll be
the old fart with knowledge the young guys can't be bothered to learn,
and I'll _really_ be making the big bucks. Maybe Y2.038K will pull me
out of retirement like Y2K did for all the COBOL graybeards :)

She's saying they have a lower chance of spreading disease than either
male or female heterosexuals. Judging by your stance on male gay sex,
you would logically only advocate lesbian sex, and no other sexual
contact. If not, why not?
