Hi Guys,
I have been rather quiet lately due to work pressure. The job that I have
been asked to do has required me to get up to speed on the latest 32-bit
Windows SDK and DDKs.
You would not believe how complicated it has now become! I have piles and
piles of CDs from Microsoft.
For Amateurs (i.e. non-paid professionals, who cannot afford the degree of
investment required) I would recommend steering away from Windows (perhaps
to Linux?). I have a distinct feeling that Microsoft is a latter-day Pied
Piper.
We were taught to apply a principle known as KISS. The latest Windows looks
more like the kiss of death for software productivity.
73, John, G4CNN
