I don't think that it is a windows specific problem. All these Software
Application Provider (like Foxboro) underestimate the amount of time and
money to support monthly changed operating systems (windows and linux
too).
These Software Application Provider (like Foxboro) were fascinated by
the possibilities to realize very quick integrated solutions (on windows
and MS promotes that). But these quick solutions are not maintanable and
a change in the underlying os kills this application.
A Software Application Provider avoids a lot of problems by choosing a
platform/os that doesn't changes to much. But I can't see a thing like
that in the near future because all these hardware and software things
were changed daily.=20
I'm wondering that Foxboro has thrown his unix know how away and
switched over to windows.=20
