Hi Andy,

Porting closed source code to Linux is very difficult to do. Windows
Is this a mailing list about LinuxCNC or windows crap?! I run "stock
trading app" written in Java on Linux just fine. It's obvious the app is
mostly focused on Windows. It's very poorly designed based on what I
see in html files, config, and logs because windows is their development
platform but it still runs on Linux. I see people complaining about
windows crashes on it's chat channel many times. Lost trade is a losing
trade.
and Mac have consistent libraries. I can take a binary that was written
for Win2K and run it on Win10. Conversely I can build a program in Win10
that will run on Win2K (within certain limits). Linux keeps changing and
binary compatibility is lousy. If I build an application on a current
Extreme bull!
version of Linux it won't run on a distro that is even a few years
older. An app built on Ubuntu probably won't work properly on Fedora.
There are tricks to mitigate these issues but they all involve lots of
work and don't provide a reliable solution.

Unbelievable what speculations I have to read these days. No wonder the
latest diaper generation is so confused about anything. I see them
coming out of school and what they think they know.
There's so little progress in computer science and anything else since
1980's PC. The most notable difference is we virtualize that hardware in
software and keep throwing more Intel like CPU cores and RAM at it these
days. I see it every day at work. Just look at an icon on typical app
for saving your work.
