The following is provided for enjoyment only:
: I have strong memories of bouying VC2 and getting VC1.5 free and thinking
: "Wow, thanks Microsoft" until I worked out that because I had Win 3.11 I
: couldn't even use Version 2.0.... *sigh* I have no idea if the newer
: versions of Dev Studio can do anything.... If not, how does MS expect the
: professional to develop for Win3.1?
MS: "Professionals don't develop for Win3.1 or any other 16 bit systems"
And they can't say "they don't" because
: if not, why do they still release IE5, etc for WIn3.11/NT3.51?
MS: "Developing for a platform and using a platform are two different things"
MS: "We have decided that 16 bit systems are out. So you may not develop"
MS: "for them any longer. However, if *our* customers won't upgrade, they"
MS: "are right. We will provide them with what they want. You are not"
MS: "our customer. You are only a developer."
