Your argument is laughable. Please indulge me here:
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA AHHAHAHAHAHA HAHAAHAHAHAH! :clap:
I don't think that was quite enough, hold on.
:clap::clap::clap: BWAAAAAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAAHHA HAAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA (wheeze) HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH (falls down gasping for breath) HAHAAHAHHAHA HAHAAHAHAHHAHA AHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
You are going out of your way to completely ignore reason and rational thought the same way religious zealots do when confronted with it.
Let's just stick with facts.
Every new version of the MacOS has rather poor compatibility running software designed for the version it replaced. FACT.
I provided a link in a previous message which provides a very long list of compatibility issues for Snow Leopard. FACT.
Apple's release cycle for MacOS is approximately 2 years. FACT.
Apple stops supporting / removes parts of their own operating system without consulting with stakeholders or developers. FACT. See the link I provided in an earlier message about Cocoa for one example.
The entire foundation of your argument against anyone who crushes your ludicrous points so far is that you are in outsourcing school to learn how to program, and everyone else who hasn't set sail on that ship with you is therefore wrong because you know the secret developer handshake and no amount of real world experience, work on development teams or formal education can say otherwise. h34r:
Protip for you! If you are fortunate enough to get a job in software development within Canada, your boss could very likely be someone with very little software development experience, but holds a $45,000 2 year MBA from somewhere like Royal Roads. Oh snap, they didn't go to outsourcing school, but they can go around singing LIKE A BOSS, while you can't, and will probably still be gainfully employed as a manager in their 40s while you will be replaced by a fresh graduate of outsourcing school, or managing a team in India remotely. They are also earning more money than you, LIKE A BOSS! :shok:
Perhaps you assume every Mac user is happy to march out and buy the most current version of MacOS out there, and every Mac user is now running Snow Leopard. Want to bet on it? If the Mac crowd hovers around 10% of the market, what percentage of them are running the 7 different versions of OS X released in the past 10 years? Is it worth putting the effort in? Look at Adobe, they seem more interested in supporting Windows these days for that reason, and most of the flagship offerings for the Mac came from Adobe! It happens to be Adobe's business to write software, just like your reasoning for virus writers, never mind a lot of them just do it for the lulz. Oh snap! :funky:
Apple is oprhaning Rosetta in OS X Lion, so goodbye support for PPC OS X applications. I'm sure the next generation of Macs will allow you to downgrade to OS X Snow Leopard though, right? :bleh: I'm sure nobody out there is using a PPC Mac any more...
Neowin.net - Rosetta, we hardly knew ye: OS X Lion cuts support for PowerPC apps

...MS has so much trouble BECAUSE of that. Why do you think that devs start whining more and more about MS dropping support of their own stuff? Gawd...
That is the same plain argument even your "technologically impaired" grandma could give you. It's no secret that virus business IS a business and you need to target the platform with the biggest market share. On the other hand he was talking about somehow binaries no longer working because Apple would be magically changing Darwin's code so much each release. Thinking that is -ridiculous-.
1- Any kind of production environement doesn't change the way viruses load and run.
2- OSX dev working on a specific platform doesn't change the way viruses load and run unless they start hacking and doing major kernel changes.
Seriously man I'm disappointed in you every time you post something. It's just sad to see either uneducated opinion or just plain crap like that last quote. I HAZ XP SO I HAZ LE TRUTH. Pointless. :dots:
