Well! Ha! Boy oh boy!
I understand there are a few home brewed programs that will not run on Apple computers?well, hang on a sec?I understand there are a whole raft of home brewed programs that will not run on Linux as well?oh, hang on again a second, I guess there are a bunch of actual store bought programs that will not run on Linux or Apple computers?oh?wait a second again, I guess there are also a pile of programs that will only run on Linux or Apple computers but cannot run on Windows of any version?and oh! Wait a second again; I understand there are a whole pile of different automobile parts that can only fit on particular autos unless there are extensive costly modifications made?oh! Hang on again! Damn! I keep realizing there is more, many books are written only in certain languages so unless you understand the language you cant understand them at all?and wait!! Oh forget it, it just goes on and on and on and on, I guess reality is that many things just do not mesh, its real life across the board and its impossible for it to be solved the way we all wished.

What the lord liftin? flailing blue razor blades are you even talking about????? Just how lost are you in the world the rest of us call reality??? Are you serious? Are you actually expecting MS to modify and construct an OS that will work in a complimentary form with every program that has ever existed or has been created by every hack that lives? Do you not see that a program invented by one lone star programmer may even be eventually impossibly incompatible to some other lone star programmers program? How do we resolve that?

Your problem is that you are crying about a bunch of obvious non sense you cannot expect any OS creator to deal with. I wish Linux coders could just whip up a perfect little OS that would handle any Windows or Apple application, but I certainly do not expect them too. I?ve met a few car enthusiasts who wish you could just take an engine out of a Porsche and drop it directly under the hood of any car they liked, but they accept the fact a lot of work would have to be done. Get real
