&gt; This is not an argument against Windows, but against those programming languages and their maintainers.<p>Disagree. It&#x27;s the operating system&#x27;s job to make it easy for programmers to write the programs they want. If language implementors consistently don&#x27;t want to support a certain operating system, it&#x27;s a sign that something might be wrong with that operating system. Not necessarily from a technical point of view - it could be, say, a marketing issue.
