    Windoze is the childish derogatory spelling favoured by those who want to look cool and all anti-MS and such. -Rd

      I mean as a programmer: if the request is for windoze developers this is just because no one can afford to pay inusmuch as macos requires. I'm a developer... the only thing I can is to develop for the platform they ask to... hence 90% of the cases is windoze... hence I don't give a nickel for it rocks or it sucks... when it sucks I just look for a working workaround and I continue to code for what I'm asked to code and what I'm paid for. If finally Linux enters the real desktop market I will be happy to code for Qt under *nix... Until then I'm stuck with windoze... Hence, it does rock or it does suck it does not make any difference to me. As a professional I'm paid for developing under windoze.

      I'm sorry your continuing use of the term "Windoze" just makes you sound like an unprofessional git. If I wanted to hire a Windows developer the last thing I'd want is someone who resented the platform as much as you seem to. If you don't WANT to develop for windows, Then Don't. Find another platform or find another career. A couple of years ago when the world was going gaga over Java I made a conscious decision to ignore it. I didn't like it so I didn't bother with it. Did I earn less than I might have over the following year or two? Probably. Do I care? Not a bit. There are lots of opportunities to work on other OS Platforms. What's so special about the Desktop market that makes you feel you are trapped into developing for windows? Why not develop for the server market? Why not develop for the mobile market? Why not develop games? Why not develop for Java Virtual Machine? Why not do PHP and build browser based apps? Could it be that Microsoft have built an OS and a suite of development tools that makes it easy for you to build Apps, and you don't want to give that up to develop on other platforms where your job might arguably be harder? Again you are making a choice from among alternatives. -Rd
