While most people seem to struggle and fight in the Linux/Windows
swamp, Apple now seems like the new Windows when it comes to the next
generation of computers/tvs... for the homes. See: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf08
So those of you who instinctively fight Windows for the
sake of "diversity competition development" or something like that,
should check and comment on the video above.

Cross-posting is not SPAM. I just wanted to have more
visibility for this post. Also, this is realted to Flex as Flex is
directly related to Flash and I'm talking about Flash tools in general
being transparently available to Linux (as well as other OSs).
I'm not telling anyone to "migrate" to Linux or any other OS. As I
stated, I'm not against Windows, I still use it for many tasks and it
has some great software.
I'm a Linux user, I do sympathize with FOSS philosophies, but I live in
a capitalist world and I also believe that people should earn money. I
WILL PAY for quality software. The OS I'm using should not matter. I
too don't like fanatic FOSS-proponents that say they will not pay for
software - go live in a desert island then.
This "rant" is just to point out to Adobe (and eventually other
software companies), that being transparent in the OS they are
supporting for their products are becoming immensely important nowadays
- just take a look at the affairs of current available OSs (XP?
outdated, Vista? You're joking, right? Mac OSX? Good, maybe the best
alterantive). Windows is not (and shouldn't have been) being confused
with "PC" anymore.
Don't tell me that developing software for Linux is "harder" - Adobe
has the resources. The Flash Player works great. Linux has a
standard-base and follow open-standards. Shouldn't be so hard to decide
on the right tools to make "commercial-quality" applications for Linux.
I'm using Ubuntu for about a year and I'm very satisifed with the
experience. I have learned a lot, it certainly gave me more power and
I'm doing things faster and more efficiently than when I was on
Windows. Having bash and not being afraid of scripts and other
automation stuff can really change your TI life for good. You feel
liberated. You feel like you can do anything, it just depends on your
efforts and ideas, I think it is the main power behind open-source
projects.
Cheers,
Marcelo.

Did any one see the cringlely article last week about Apple buying
Adobe ? :)
http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2008/pulpit_20080111_003899.html
Speculative, and maybe nonsense, but as ever with cringely kind of
makes you think...
I still don't think Appe buying Adobe would help with the linux
issue, but might enforce a little less windows-orientation...?
