Re: Fw: A PORT TO WIN32?

[Kaelin Colclasure]

My only exposure to Yellow Box has been my attempt to install and use 
the WebObjects 5.2 development tools on first (unsupported) Windows XP 
and then (supported) Windows 2000. I was extremely disappointed. The 
installation process was fragile in the extreme. And once prodded and 
massaged into working at all, the tools performed poorly and frequently 
froze Windows UI (requiring a reboot).

If Yellow Box is accountable for that experience, I applaud Apple's 
decision not to inflict it on the developer community.

That said, several folks on the WebObjects mailing list claim to 
develop WebObjects applications exclusively under Windows, and (while 
none rose to defend the installation process) all asserted that the 
tools worked reliably for them -- even under Windows XP. I opted not to 
expend further hours of effort frobbing with Windows, as I vastly 
prefer driving Mac OS X anyway.
