Hi,
In order to stop all the flames and argues I'll explain myself a bit more:
I asked for a windows version just because I lack the time and enthusiasm to
get used to Linux. It might be a great OS in terms of stability or
flexibility but you surely agree that it's damn user unfriendly. People
already being familiar with Linux/Unix might enjoy dir/prog names short and
descriptive as 'tgz' or 'ls' but I still believe in human readable names. It
might also be logical to these people that license/legal therms are more
important in a .readme than what the program actually does at all. Endless
ascii config files and hundreds of different shells/guis with different usage
rules and keys - I really really don't want to get used to that.
I personally don't like windows very much, but it's the only way for me to use
the SDK.
Second: I think some people nowadays seem to mix computer and religion.
There's no evil overlord called Windows and there's also a significant lack
of david alike heroes (the one winning against Goliath, I mean). Please keep
this in mind next time you answer to a mail, Aaron. Don't take it personally
but consider that I have reasons for what I do.
Bye, Stefan.
