I look at your sig and see other things
You just have a different definition of what a Windows user is. People desperate to belong to a group will often include anyone they can in that group, whether they want to belong to it or not. I don't use Windows by choice, and once I graduate, you'll see my sig reflect the OS I prefer using. When did you release anything, flame?
First of all, you seems to be a little confused by the terms. By "the rest of us" I don't mean "me". I meant everyone who does write cross platform applications. With the exeption of a small BlitzPlus application, done for a client, I don't really release stuff unless specificly asked, since until quite recently BlitzMax programing was a hobby, rather than a profession. Long time members of this board will remember I used to offer up all my source code on www.blitzbasic.dk but since it crashed, and no-one seemed to care, getting it up and running again hasn't exactly been a top priority. Piracy doesn't destroy software, software that attempts to protect itself destroys software.
I never said it did. I said that pirates (and by extension a large portion of Windows users) do not pay for software - at least not the developers.
