and btw. if you had gone back a few threads (instead of just 
jumping into a conversation to just have a go at me), then you'd 
know that it all started because i attempted to inject some 
humour into the converstation, and used a youtube video that made 
fun of the design of Windows 10 - in a humerous manner.

What results from that, was some guy telling me that I was 
bashing on Adam. That i was anti this and anti that.

Then others got involved too, trying to bash on me even further.

The same thing happened when I mentioned my concern that 64bit D 
on Windows can only happen if the user is prepared to download 
GB's of propriatory, closed source, bloatware. When I did that, 
MSFT fanboys came out to dump on me, instead of 
saying..yeah..perhaps that might be a good way for D to proceed.

So, if you're all willing to dish it out to me, you better be 
prepared to take some too!

D's future will depend not on how well it ties into a propriatory 
o/s, but who well it runs in open source environments. Anyone who 
doesn't see that, doesn't understand whats going on in the world 
of software development. Even MSFT get that, and are now trying 
to port C# as quickly as possibly to other platforms to hold off 
the competition that's already here, and more to come.

I think D is where it is, because it was developed on Windows 
(windows 32 bit it seems). Had it been developed on an open 
source operating system, I expect it would be miles ahead of 
where it currently is.

If D is making Windows its platform priority, then it has to 
compete with exiting MSFT solutions on the platform, which in my 
mind, are far superior to anyting D can or will be able to 
provide. D should focus its attention elsewhere.

That's just my opinion. Others can disagree. I don't mind 
disagreement. But I mind not being allowed to disagree!
