Quite right about wondering how prevalent - that is part of the task of characterising the problem - other questions that need to be answered
Q. Does it affect all Windows XP users or only some users - and if it is not all users what is the common factor. Q. Is this a new 6.5 problem or was it around in 6.3 and earlier ? Q. How serious is this problem - does it really cause crashes or other unwanted behaviour and if so what is the timeframe. I think I may be able to test the 6.3/6.5 question over the weekend. As to the code tool - I've had plenty of problems with C compilers and support libraries to know that nothing is bug free. Changing code of an existing app to fix a bug is easier than rewriting it in a different language and as yet there is no definitive proof the tools is at fault. I leave the choice of tool up to the developers - they made an assessment a few years ago and the tools used to develop slimtray are independent of the tools needed for slimserver. There was no legacy code so they had a clean slate and could have chosen C. They are experienced professional developers and so I think they would have assessed the options properly. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32257 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
