What about using it on anything that isn't windows or mac os?
Isn't it kind of the point of web browsers to render webpages in a common open language instead of being a host for proprietary vendor specific plugins? What's the big advantage over standalone applications in that case anyway?
- CmonDev 13y agoWe are talking about enterprise which is 99% Windows.
- beagle3 13y agoSome enterprises are, perhaps most. But tablets and phones HAVE made a dent, and some places are BYOD even at the computer level. e.g. Google is very far from 99% Windows - and though it is not your standard "enterprise", it is far from unique.
- Tmmrn 13y agoSure, but why make the commitment to build your whole thing windows-only when you are only a tiny bit away from actually doing it platform independent. Like, for having options in the future, and stuff.
