A few weeks ago, Ars published part one in a series called "From Win32 to Cocoa: a Windows user's conversion to Mac OS X". In this series, Peter Bright details why he believes "Windows is dying, Windows applications suck, and Microsoft is too blinkered to fix any of it". Part one dealt with the history of both Windows and the Mac OS, and part two deals with .Net, the different types of programmers, and Windows Vista.

LOL.... I completely agree with you. What I find extremely frustrating with OSX is that it is stuck in ObjectiveC and C++. I mean how 70's is that.
I started writing using the Commodore 64 so I have been around the bend a bit. Suffered through the memory model fiasco. BUT .NET is amazing. Actually even Java has it right that way. C++ and C is useful for low level system coding. As a general programming language forget.
I read the article and I thought what a piece of garbage. All fluff no stuff...

Well, I can see why the guy doesn't like .NET if he likes coding in C/C++. Personally, I'd rather 69 with a grizzly bear while having king kong shoved up my ass than use either of those two languages.
