Well obviously they're trying to prevent the year of linux desktop.
- DonHopkins 10y agoThey're still trying to get even for Marc Andreessen sabotaging NCSA Mosaic's cross-system portability stuff, in an attempt to prevent the year of the Windows Web Browser. https://github.com/alandipert/ncsa-mosaic/blob/fd11fb7c900e850ff24b6b8c6548324190c335ac/libwww2/tcp.h#L22 https://github.com/alandipert/ncsa-mosaic/blob/fd11fb7c900e8... Much of the cross-system portability stuff has been intentionally REMOVED from this version of the library by Marc A in order to discourage attempts to make "easy" ports of Mosaic for X to non-Unix platforms. The library needs to be rewritten from the ground up; in the meantime, Unix is *all* we support or intend to support with this set of source code. And of course for this remark: https://ontechnologyandmedia.com/2009/07/12/the-return-of-the-webtop/ https://ontechnologyandmedia.com/2009/07/12/the-return-of-th... Netscape co-founder Mark Andreessen boasted that Netscape would reduce Microsoft Windows to “a set of poorly debugged device drivers.”
