No doubt you meant what you said. However, it hardly changes the fact that the one omitted is rather ubiquitous, regardless of your personal feelings about it. I have no love for Microsoft (especially after Windows 8), and I hate Apple and their ecosystem snobbery with a passion. However, as a commercial developer, I understand the need to support them as part of basic business practices. While I may curse them like a sailor privately, I never allow my prejudices to reach my customers through my product. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
