Here is a good explanation. I can't say I have dealt with most of it since I haven't done Windows development since pre-.NET, but I am significantly happier now that I don't.

- visitor4rmindia 18y agoThanks - the articles are interesting. Windows has always felt to me like the work of several teams, each in its own area. I never considered this a weakness because that's "just the way it is". However, this thread has helped me see that it could be. I'll consider taking up some linux programming when I get some free time to get a feel of the difference.
