Last statement about this one:
1. Aaron never said there should NEVER be a Windows SDK.
He questioned the timing of the windows SDK introduction in
relation to the stadium in development that the OE (and indeed
Amiga's grander scheme) are at.
2. Time are a changin', Baby. Sony's PS2 Devbox runs Linux. Embedded
Linux is being pushed as a standard. QNX is about to be released.
Microsoft is moving to a .Net strategy. The time for windows on the
desktop is coming to an end....
And last but not least - don't try and bite someone's head off because
you're
afraid there won't be a Windows SDK (and hence convenience for yourself)
because of his comments. He is concerned and is voicing his concerns, trying
to provide some valuable input (that's often requested right here by Amiga).
It always surprises me how everyone here (including Amiga's own) feel the
need to go overboard with their responses because someone voice's his
opinions.
Remember, its internet and its hard to convey context and nuances in an
email.
I guess now is the time to bury the discussion since we've all had our say.
Feel free to get the last word in if you must.
