Законы OS/2

  • Закон #1: Если создаешь продукт для OS/2, то не пытайся его потом портировать в другие ОС. Как видим в 90-ые, начало 2000-х: там ты ничего не заработаешь. все силы потратишь. OS/2 версия тоже остановится в развитии. Вместо этого: улучши свой OS/2 товар на 20% и пусть он будет уникальным.

Who builds the infrastructure?

Who should work on drivers? Collect toolkits for developers? publish the templates of applications? release the libraries for Solutions in advance (example: library to generate barcodes, etc)?

Answer: The developer of the Operating system.

Write code only if you can't live without that

Better implement short compact projects for OS/2. Long term projects die usually. Many apps for OS/2 never were released.
