In article <9d6i89$3nf$1@nh.pace.co.uk>, Marin David Condic says...
>While there are potential problems with Open Source Software (divergence,
I had to laugh when they raised that issue. How many different "Windows" OS's
does Microsoft have floating around now? At least 4, no matter how you count.
Just about any serious Windows app has to have some code somewhere that detects
the Windows version and does completely different things depending on which one
it is. One good example is trying to get see if a certain program is running.
There's an API for it in 9x. With NT you have to do a series of convoulted
real-time registry lookups (which won't work on 9x).
