I rewrote some software to run under Vista and we only sold one copy.
Its seems many engineers are still on Win 98 !

Outside the U.S., perhaps, but I'd be really surprised if more than, say, 5%
of professional (in the sense of, "they get paid to do the job") engineers are
still using it as their primary OS.

Heck, there are probably more engineers using *NIX as their primary OS than
Win98 these days...



XP became the de facto std, mainly because MS stopped supporting w2k
embedded tools, and forced XP embedded on everyone.

Even that is relatively new though.

Most RTOS folks likely use Solaris, which is going open source, btw.

I just DL'd OpenSolaris DVD the other day, and am going to check it out.

After all that time getting OpenSuse going!

Damn.. I hope Sun has good NVidia support.

Sun? woudn't it be x.org or NVidia who provide that support?


For Linux distros, yes. For OpenSolaris, who knows?

LOL!

Certainly not you.

For all your posturing as an expert on it ,you only downloaded it a
couple of days ago, and yet here you are lecturing folk who are
thoroughly at home with it.

A: Dumb***, I am not lecturing anyone, dip***.

B: I didn't see anyone here declaring that they ran OpenSolaris.

C: Open Solaris is NOT Linux, idiot.

D: I never made any inference that I was an expert on Linux or
anything else, dip***. I said that I work with it and on it. Is your
feeble little mind even capable of grasping the difference between what I
actually said and the bull*** manipulations you spew all fucking day?
