Starts with 'the key combos for edit controls aren't exactly the same', goes to 'diddle with the fonts in X', advances to half of my daily tools won't run ( since they're for example legacy delphi applications of my own writing, and I don't even want to try to get python for delphi to run on a unix based system ), continues with 'the shop I'm working for uses an intranet variant of Windows Messener and none of the multi protocol client on any platform seem to speak that dialect' ( VPN connection, of course ) and basically ends with '.net 2.0 is my current favourite playground'. Now, I guess I could overcome nearly all those difficulties (except the messenger, I guess - It'd be easier to convince the shop to use something different), but in what time? I guess somewhere between 6 months and a couple of years. Simply an economic decision. 140 Bucks every third year for the newest windows is still quite a bit cheaper than spending time for the transition. Yes, I'm in a clear vendor-lock-in situation ;) Loading...
