Re: OS X Installed numbers (Was Re: mac-toolbox)

[gregor420]

Well, I for one, use Maya from SGI|Alias|Waefront - and it doesn;t support 10.2 - there are a number of dialog boxen which get very screwed up by it.

Are there any other packages which work under 10.1- & not in 10.2+ ?

Certainly some of the shareware stuff like fruitmenu & windowshade have different versions...

From a developer's view are there any commonly known gotchas to look for?

You can probably blame Quark for about 90% of this. They're *really*
far behind updating QuarkXPress to Mac OS X, and they still pretty well
own the professional design layout market.

This is especially true here in the U.K. The overwhelming majority of Mac
users here are in the design/bureaux/newspaper business and won't touch OS X
with a bargepole exclusively because of Quark.

There are hopes that OS X may eat into the Oracle/Unix/db market but it's a
*very* long shot. Local Perl Monger groups are reporting lay offs and the
vast majority of _them_ are Windoze users.

Switch, whether from Mac OS 9 or Win32, definitely ain't happening here :-(
