Programmers don't like working for me, I require standardized code
with comments and error checking on just about everything. But
then, I make embedded devices that are expected to be powered up

<pre wrap="">Dear Jerry,
You KNOW why so much stuff requires Windows. Many 3rd party programs
use extensive amount of code written in Windows, so they don't have to
write and debug the code required for their applications; the DOS part
is a tiny part of Windows. The 'Bloat' that is complained by some
allows programmers to get away with writing and compiling less KLOCs
[thousand lines of code] than would be otherwise be required to make
the programs they are working on, work.
