So what is the deal anyway...
When you get a new os on your real computer every program works...i guess this is just different huh?
How long until companys make software for SE? (im sick of seeing "program may not work, it was not made for this") | |||

Yes you would. Try running the floppy for"Duck Hunter" on a Windows 98SE PC!
If the program is coded to slow for the processor, you'llhave glitches. Don't Panic! Bobby | |||||

I was just talking w/ someone about this today. We were discussing Dell not offering the upgrade for X3/5 users. I mentioned that I'm grateful to have WM 2003 based on all the app. incompatibilities w/ SE. I find it unfortunate that the devs can't get their apps up to speed in timely manner, but SE must have core components that make it more difficult to code for SE compatibility. Really, what good is it if you purchased numerous apps for the PPC 2002/WM 2003 platform, only to discover that they don't work under SE? Sure, anytime you buy an app, you run the risk of it not being compatible with the next great OS, but this is not major "NEW" OS, its a second edition, an intermediate upgrade. Another concern is the # of apps that claim to be compatible w/ SE, and are not. Battery Pack and SPB Plus are 2 that come to mind. Although both claimntht their products are now compatible, they indeed are not.
In closing, I understand the frustration you SE users must be going through, and I hope all devs ar successful at coding their apps for complete SE compatibility. | |||||

I am willing to bet that 90% of the apps that say they won't or might not work is because:
SE has a differnt OS signature or OS value when checked. When the developer wrote the software they did something along the lines of check ($OSVER) if ($OSVER != "PPC2003") { print "This application may not work properly"; } For example, Doom 3 will not install on Windows 2k Server without tweaking the install program because "Windows 2000 Server" does not equal the value "Windows 2000". This is why I love open source software. You can fix it yourself or the community will have it fixed in minutes. | |||||

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
