Ars has just published part three in their series "From Win32 to Cocoa", in which Peter Bright explains why he thinks "Windows is dying, Windows applications suck, and Microsoft is too blinkered to fix any of it." Part one dealt with the history of both development platforms, part two dived into .Net, different types of programmers, and Windows Vista, and part three details the development platform and tools Apple has to offer, and in what ways they are superior or inferior to Windows'.

Err... No, end-user applications are virtually never written in .Net. Just corporate stuff - the same kind of stuff that might otherwise be written in Java.
The software used to flash the N800 and N810 in Windows is written in DotNet and *requires* the DotNet 2 framework.

Oh, really? The ATI/AMD control panel comes to mind. It is quite the consumer application and has nothing to do with corporate activities other than the fact that it was produced by a corporation and is distributed by the same. And this is hardly the only example.
