Windows sucks

[figmo]

I had to say it. This isn't a "religious" thing; it's a post from someone who is frustrated at all the crap she has to run to keep her system from getting invaded by stuff.

People keep saying Macs are more expensive, but when you add the maintenance costs to the Windows boxes and note that the Mac will be useful for a longer period of time, Macs turn out to be cheaper.

I just wish Adobe would effing port FrameMaker to MacOSX or Linux so I wouldn't have to run Windows at all.

I now go back to making my systems usable so I can get back to work. :-(

How do I do this FlashBlock? Enquiring minds want to know!

griffen found an emulator that runs on PowerPC Macs, but I haven't put the time into getting it to work.

As for FrameMaker 8, it does work on Windows XP.

I wish Adobe would do what Oracle does for its ports where it doesn't feel like putting the effort into porting onto a processor but the vendor of the processor wants Oracle on it: Let the vendor seat some employees and/or contractors on site at Oracle and do the porting themselves. Data General has been doing that for years. I wish Adobe and Apple would do something similar.
