Those don't seem to be the most common applications used Max. Head on over
to download.com and take a look at what people are using in this century.
ICQ - downloads this week 992,672
Zone Alarm - downloads this week 678,116
WinZip - downloads this week 531,817
Then there's a whole host of file sharing apps, burning apps, and media
playing apps on the top 50.
There's nary an Office type app on the whole list.
The Microsoft browser just plain wins on quality.

The amazing thing isn't really that you believe that.
The amazing thing is that you can't wrap your
brain around the notion of anyone disagreeing
with you.
You really think that in my heart I know
you are right, don't you?
It's creepy.

Interesting. So Win32 isn't an API but
*MSDN Library* is!
That's really warped.
So, int 21h isn't an API but a book
describing it is, right?

I can't answer it; I don't see anything the first
three have in common that int 21h doesn't.

Well, those two things do kind of go together. Indeed,
they are kind of the same thing, aren't they?
Apple has avoided compatibility problems by not
changing their OS very much, basically. This is
a problem because it has really needed it.

You sure about that?
For what you say to be true, the "most common applications"
must be confined to wordprocessors and spreadsheets.
That seems quite narrow.
I wouldn't put such verbal tomfoolery past you,
of course, but I'd like you to explicitly state
what you mean by "the most common applications",
before I go beating you about the head with it. :D

Well, no, no it isn't. I take it from this that
you cannot address the actual argument I was
making?

Does "protection" ever break?
a) no
B) YES
DOH!
The life expectancy of a male homosexual is 20 YEARS SHORTER than
that of a male heterosexual.
What does this tell you?
(and no, it has nothing to do with murder rates).

Yes, and we should burn all the silly books too! Television is much
more 'year 2000'. I mean, all this worship of written language and
