Shut UP! Everyone.
We all know that a large proportion of the computers in the world run Windows.
Pure Data is not elitist, apart from the French pronunciation of PD which was
an
anti-elitist statement in the first instance.
We are not in the business of saying who can and who cannot use this software,
otherwise it would just be another Max/MSP and we'd have to email our DNA to
IRCAM or Cycling74 in order to log onto our computers every time. (I was born
in
'74 - I resent their use of my birth-year, but I do not try to patent it).
This Ideological discussion is dead, and it has been dead for as long as I can
remember. PD is BSD for Miller because of his ironic involvement with MSP, and
GNU for everyone else. Don't clog the list with ideology. We are not a Tea
Party.
PS the Pope is in the UK, and still talking about the Nazis. He is a 20th
century relic. Do not become that. Use flexibly your status, and we might just
have a point!
Get over it, and love or hat each other openly.
Metastudio 4 for Pure Data - coming soon!!

Konichiwa,
Windows in itself is very crappy, it's not really about multimedia,
almost everything isn't good on this platform,
maintaining a list of crappy things on windows would just be a waste of time.
Just stop removing fresh air from windows users when they can find in it
applications like PureData, when they are available on this crappy platform.
Also the little cd isn't able to handle any computer hardware,
without a little bit of knowledge about what is X server for example,
Or simply without the matching hardware.
(please don't read this serioulsy)
This even sound very elitistic, the windows users would just use the great cd
that has been compiled by the real people who know things,
and just keep windows for playing their games,
or to run the great music softwares they bought because on linux there are no
real solution
that is handling mainstream music composition without knowledge about computers.
Sorry to put those misplaced arguments, but sometimes I'm wondering about
solutions
instead of closing doors.
The windows version is probably the most downloaded because users aren't
satisfied,
and are waiting for the big changes.

BTW SuperCollider did not released the 3.4 verion for Windows. Widows
is just crappy for audio.
That means more bugs and more issues to fix. more work for developers
etc.
The situation is that anyone can put a puredyne live-cd and work with
pd/supercollider/whatever on any computer on earth.

Maybe i'm short of rationality, (and i may sound weird, please don't
misunderstand) but for me it's like a race issue... we shall not
discriminate windows users, because most of them were born into
windows.
It's not like you buy your first computer and the vendor asks you
which OS
please?, and you have a 360 degree view of them you if you are cool
you
choose linux, and if you are a jerk you choose windows. Be more
tolerant,
and of course be happy that you are already on the right side, but
try to
help those on the dark side rather than abandoning them.
Just 2 cents.

Linux is better for audio anyway, and it's so easy to
use/install/try
these days.

The Windows package is still the most downloaded.
so what? that's where the big illusion stands ( having more
customers? )
