![]() ![]() ![]() Sharpdevelop and Monodevelop are trying to provide features that VS provides. “Most (sensible) developers do not use anything in VS that isn’t available as standard in monodevelop or eclipse – except for trivial applications.” Yes, but an IDE is far more than just a GUI builder. “but for complex applications you don’t use the GUI-builder part of VS.” I did not write text-editors or monodevelop. ![]() Solutions are there, they just require that you look for them they aren’t going to fall out of the sky. Purchase a licence from Fluendo which sells WMV/WMA playback which integrates into gstreamer framework, and soon they’ll be including encoding as well. I suppose I can’t really complain as the WMV is proprietary….but it’s just another example of us living in a Windows world. Maybe it’s due to the 64bit nature of things, I really can’t tell. WMVs have a real problem with xine and mplayer on my install. Unfortunately, I hit another Linux-only stumbling block….streaming video. On a related note, I revisited poking around my Fiesty 圆4 installation. Then move to a games console – alot cheaper, the life of your two machines will be alot longer as both won’t need to be upgraded at the same rate games for a games console bought in 2 years will work without any need of an upgrade of your hardware. Well, I can’t really answer that one, but to the question of “Who Needs Windows?” I can safely answer, “Gamers.” ![]()
