Ok, you have a point. However, I would argue that Microsoft might have a bit more leverage to charge their developers for dev tools. But whatever, I'm just saying that it seems like with some crazy things going on with Apple - OS X transition, now instruction set transition, plus miniscule market share makes me think that you'd want to make it more attractive to developers like Omni, etc., rather than charging them. But that appears to be just me. I fully understand that commercial software development is not a hobby. --alan On Jun 7, 2005, at 2:54 PM, Jesse Brown wrote: > You should probably check out the cost of Microsoft's development > tools. > They aren't free, ranging in cost from 199 - to over $2500. > > If you want free tools go the linux route and use Sourceforge.
