Second, there is a constant stream of new developers who weren't burned by whatever pissed off the last generation. Using MS as the example again, how many times in the last 20 years have you heard some 20-something say that this time is different, and you're just being paranoid if you think there is anything nefarious behind MS's latest actions? -- Drew

It was originally run on Unix workstations, but all the customers have migrated to Windows and the current version is run via Hummingbird's Exceed (X Server for Windows). We're pretty close to releasing the first Windows native version.
