Re: State of Windows deployment in 2009?

If we want Apple  to release new WebObjects versions, beyond 5.4.3, to =
the community, the worst thing we can do is talking about Windows and =
Linux. We should be very clear about this: if we expect Apple to do =
anything for us in the regard, we should be loyal to Apple by only =
developing and deploying on Apple equipment. Otherwise, I am afraid that =
5.4.3 will be the last version we will ever see...

With Kind Regards,
