Will there be another kickstarter in the future for Windows 11?
EDIT: From the KS page, "A Word to Mac Users"
This does not lead me to believe it's going to be something like an SDL2 port but a one off port. I hope I can be proven wrong.
EDIT2: Another World/Flashback was ported a while ago, but that was built on a VM, which is very cool: http://fabiensanglard.net/anotherWorld_code_review/index.php http://fabiensanglard.net/anotherWorld_code_review/index.php
- klodolph 8y agoThe compatibility story has changed a lot since 1993. DLL hell has been solved, UAC has been introduced, and executables now have manifiests which state which versions of Windows they are designed to work with. There’s also the face that video is no longer cutting edge.
- codetrotter 8y agoThere isn’t going to be a “Windows 11” according to what Microsoft has said. Instead new versions of Windows are released as updates of Windows 10. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/09/windows-10-spring-creators-update-everything-you-need-to-know https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/09/windows-1... Does this mean that Windows 10 apps released today will run on the latest “Windows 10” years in the future? Only time will tell I guess, but if there is one thing Microsoft has been good at historically it’s been backwards compatibility. Not perfect, but still so good at it that they deserve recognition for that. Credit where credit is due and all that, even for an operating system that I generally don’t like and don’t want to use.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoHmm, that's interesting as new versions have driven hardware sales - and vice-versa - in the past. Wonder how hardware companies will adapt?
