Portability (OS, databa...Hmm, another pet subject.<br /><br />Portability (OS, database, toolkit, whatever) is a tough sell when constraining the deployment environment is a much easier concept to understand. It only seems makes sense to people *after* it's too late and the alternative is to completely discard what you have and start over, with all the pain and expense that that entails.<br /><br />I never once regretted holding out for portability and it's saved several products from being ditched because it keeps the code base healthy and better able to accomodate change (e.g. maintaining unix ports of windows software actually made moving from XP to Vista easier).<br /><br />But I've never been thanked for it either ;-)<br /><br />It'll be interesting to see how Korea manages this problem.guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-35142479732693440622009-10-03T16:12:05.854+00:002009-10-03T16:12:05.854+00:00let's hope they get the message soon...let's hope they get the message soon...Glyn Moodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436885795882611585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-78621653739199421882009-10-03T03:47:43.492+00:002009-10-03T03:47:43.492+00:00Try, as a North American customer to visit a Korea...Try, as a North American customer to visit a Korean website. You want to check out their "World Leading" electronics.<br /><br />You can't. Even some of the large multinationals don't support modern browsers, which makes them look like 2-bit outfits.<br /><br />So this is hurting Korea in more than one way. If they don't take action fairly quickly, it's going to negatively impact exports, which the Korean economy relies on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354974465136846413noreply@blogger.com
