It only feels natural now to quote Linus on this aspect: "OS X in some ways is actually worse than Windows to program for. Their file system is complete and utter crap, which is scary. I think OS X is nicer than Windows in many ways, but neither can hold a candle to my own (Linux). It’s a race to second place!" http://www.smh.com.au/news/technology/q-and-a-with-linus-torvalds/2008/02/05/1202090403120.html?page=2 Of course, as with the choice of Obj-C, technical merit is but a secondary concern to Apple. And that brings us back on topic again. :) /Casper > On 28 April 2010 14:18, opinali <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > On 28 abr, 04:45, Casper Bang <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > (e.g. see Linux's pathetic advanced- > > > > filesystem story, it's not yet in the place that Windows was >10 years > > > > ago with NTFS.) > > > > Now you're being ridiculous.
