That sounds about right to me.

As I just said on another list.... The axiom "Apple is a hardware
company" applies here.  But now that they have a viable server
platform of their own, it's no different than MS making .NET run only
on Windows.

How many people does NOT use .NET because of that?

I do not use .NET for this very reason. In my company, we use MacOS X (Server or User) extensively, various UNIX flavors including the now dead Tru64 (Digital), Linux. No Windows, nowhere.


Beside that, .NET, BizTalk Server and the Microsoft development tools are great. Really. But a Windows only solution is not an option.


The goal for WO (from Apple's perspective) is no longer to sell licenses of the software, it's to sell hardware. Unfortunately, to achieve this goal, it means some are going to get left behind. That's life, that's business... it sucks.


Does not sucks. If you ask me i will switch the projects to Tapestry fro
example. which looks too similar to WO, with Cayenne and TomCat.
We human love freedom.
Apple forces me. I do not like that :)
If i can i will leave. But however, i am not the Chef ;)

It's not really freedom of choice to have to abandon the beloved tools, as good as the new tools are (I'm in the middle of a switch to Tapestry, Hibernate/Cayenne/IBATIS and Spring Framework). The problem wasn't with WebObjects itself or the plateform (MacOS X is our primary and prefered plateform). It was with the "no information" attitude at Apple.
