92 percent of developers ignoring Vista!!!

Vista is crap and the techs know it. Only retards like frank think its
anything else than sh!t. Oh yes vista is a bucket of sh!t, without the
bucket!

And to think Microsoft used to be popular with the developer crowd... Not
anymore. A recent report from Evans Data shows fewer than one in 10 software
developers writing applications for Windows Vista this year. Eight percent.

This is perhaps made even worse by the corresponding data that shows 49
percent of developers writing applications for Windows XP.

Such appreciation for history is not likely to warm the cockles of
Microsoft's heart, especially when Linux is getting lots of love from
developers (13 percent writing apps for it this year and 15.5 percent in
2009). The Mac? I don't have any equivalent data via Evans Data. But the Mac
OS has rocketed by 380 percent as a targeted development platform, Evans
Data told Computerworld.

The numbers don't get much better for Vista in 2009: 24 percent (compared
with 29 percent for XP). That's a big step up from 8 percent, but is it a
sign of momentum to come or just a temporary stopgap while developers wait
until Windows 7?

Nor has Microsoft made it easy to develop Vista applications, according to
an article in ITJungle.com:

Unfortunately, that improved security posture makes it more difficult for
developers to write applications for Vista (read: no more kernel-level
access and UAC to worry about), and it also causes compatibility problems
with older applications. Ironically, the wave of attacks targeting operating
system vulnerabilities has largely passed, and today hackers have moved on
to target applications. At the same time, Microsoft has provided iterative
improvements in Windows XP security, bolstering its status as "good enough"
and further eating into Vista's pie.

Indeed. Microsoft doesn't need to handicap itself on the desktop given its
difficulties competing everywhere else. With Linux and the Mac taking
ever-increasing shares of the developer pie, Microsoft would do well to
shore up developer support for Windows.

"Wow... this article doesn't make any sense.

What, exactly, is a "Vista application"? Is it an application that is
written with .NET 3.0+ using WPF, because those run just fine on XP.

In fact, I can't really think of a single development platform that runs
on Vista, but not on XP.

So what is this poll measuring? Is it measuring that lack of adoption of
WPF? If so, I agree, that's a problem"

"I am not a programmer, but even I understand that programmers are
writing code to .Net and not a specific OS.

ActiveWin ought to start a category for stupidest article - this one
gets my vote"

"In related news... 8% of developers are writing windows vista sidebar
gadgets. The rest are writing .net apps."

You'fre an idiot and moron capin' crunch!...LOL!

Amazing. You can cut and paste. I am proud of you. I'm sure you had lots
of help with this task. I'll bet your sorry excuse for a brain is really
tired. Better stop stroking it by the way.

I think our 'Clear Windows' has had a lobotomy sometime during his short
life.

Of couse you are an idiot. You post under multiple names and freaked
when you were outed. I asked the other pile of **** Bill, now I'm
asking you. Why would anyone in their right mind support this
newsgorup's biggest asshole Frank?
Everybody else in the newsgroup either ignores you three simpletons or
****es all over you three idiots day after day. I guess you morons
haven't noticed or you like getting ****ed on. Which is it?

The institution you just got out gave you a "certificate" stating just
that, right?

You must like to having your nuts crushed and your ass kicked cause
that's all we've been doing to you ever since you stuck you nose in here!
Ouch!
I bet that hurts!

Which is it?

You tell us? Do you prefer having your ass kicked or your nuts crushed

accommodate you!
