Apple didn't abandon, they provided an upgrade path.
First, they included "Classic" running within OS X for OS 9 applications. This environment sometimes ran OS 9 programs even faster than booting straight into OS 9 on the same hardware.
Second, they provided dual-booting into OS 9 and OS X for those rare programs that just wouldn't run under Classic.
Third, a couple years prior to OS X, Apple released an API that contained about 95% of the system calls normally used in OS 9 applications, requiring little modification to most programs to this API. OS 9 programs conforming to this Carbon API could run on OS X natively.
Fourth, for the transition to Intel, Apple built in a seamless emulator for PPC applications. You don't even know it's running unless you check. For those people using XCode, compiling your program to a universal binary (PPC and Intel) is simply a checkbox.
I wouldn't call that abandoning users.
Windows is safe on the Internet so long as you pass your web traffic through 127.0.0.1.
You realize that by that sentence you're literally saying "and I'll go there with Linux protecting me," don't you?
UDP?
I know, time for you to go look up yet something else.
I specifically mentioned Apple abandoning the Apple II users, but like most of my points it was either over your head or before your time.
Where's your proof? The noobie put up netcraft stats for their website host and you fell for it?
"TCP/IP" is a suite of protocols that includes UDP. You're as stupid as those liberal arts wannabees around here if you didn't know that.
Now you change your story, referring to the Internet protocol suite stack, after you looked up UDP. I'm sorry you have to continually educate yourself in order to keep up in these technical discussions.
BTW, stuff does get through. IIRC, Anonymizer had some problems with Javascripting getting through to IE. Javascript is, after all, just text.
And just think, if they hadn't transitioned to a new architecture, their stuff would be as old and broken as Microsoft's.
You can't talk to Ballmer like that, he'll throw a f***ing chair at you, you big pu**y!
I didn't change anything, I said TCP/IP from the beginning, you're the idiot that claimed it didn't include UDP.
You said "TCP/IP is your only protocol that's exposed to the internet..." Protocol. Singular, denoting TCP running on IP (although 'TCP/IP protocol' is wrong since it's a collection of two protocols). Not the suite of protocols commonly known as the "Internet protocol suite" or the "TCP/IP protocol suite" named after the first two protocols in it that were defined.
UDP is included in TCP/IP no matter how much more you want to cry about it. Not only are you boys ignorant but then you always try to lie to cover it all up.
UDP is included in the suite of protocols sometimes referred to as the TCP/IP protocol suite. It is not part of any one "TCP/IP protocol." If you say you're going communicate via TCP/IP, that means you're using TCP, not UDP. If you say you're going to use the protocol suite, I understand you may be talking about UDP, RTP, etc. (sorry, there's another one for you to look up).
No shit Sherlock! LMAO at the ignorance of the open source fanatics. Were you one of the kooks pictured above in the hazmat suits too?
Right. Protocol suite, not protocol, as you said.
TCP/IP includes UDP, time for you to admit the ignorance of your claim it doesn't.
TCP/IP is TCP/IP, not UDP. The Internet protocol suite, a.k.a. TCP/IP protocol suite, includes UDP.
Look, you've shown your stupidity (remember, I promised not to call you ignorant anymore) on computer issues multiple times. You just have no credibility with which to continue this.
At my place of employment, we are getting hardware upgrades in a couple of months. The software that I use runs better on a 64 bit machine. But the 64 bit machine won't run MS apps and Lotus Notes. So I have to have 2 machines sitting on my desk. What a pain! Two monitors, 2 keyboards, 2 mice. What a frigging joke. I am not looking forward to it.
