The same goes to limiting your choices of tools and language based on some artificial desire by some to have it work on multiple OSes. If you know your target is a specific platform for the next 10 years, why would you limit the choice of tools to those that only work on multiple platforms when a better tool could be eliminated? This all goes back to the right tool for the right project.

Even if Windows support is a requirement (granted, it probably will be) that doesn't mean that it is the right choice to limit the application to Windows-only deployment. -- Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
