Bill Gates Melarang iTunes Dari Windows

Hari ini Bill Gates membuat pengumuman yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya bahwa iTunes Apple dilarang dari OS Windows.

Tampaknya ada ketidak puasan Bill karena Apple menggunakan kode dasar yang sama dengan windows untuk iTunes.

Bill mengatakan bahwa dia akan menerima kembali jika Apple melakukan beberapa perubahan yang di antaranya adalah membuatkan versi khusus iTunes untuk windows dengan compiler dan bahawa untuk Windows.

Berikut adalah petikan langsung yang diposting di Blog Pluggio.com

“In the first place we were happy that they (Apple) deployed iTunes to Windows; we got a lot of new customers just because of that one app, but, then we heard from an inside source that they (Apple) used the EXACT SAME code-base for iTunes Mac as for Windows.
On closer inspection we noticed that iTunes didn’t even use the real windows API! They make their own scroll system and their own chrome COMPLETELY bypassing our fantastic Windows OS. So, we’ve decided enough is enough. We’ll allow iTunes back into Windows when they (Apple) make the following changes.

• Apple MUST write a specialised version of iTunes on Windows and use Windows compilers and Windows languages ONLY
  
• Apple MUST use native windows controllers such as our in built Windowing system and scroll objects.
  
• Apple MUST lose this RIDICULOUS attitude of writing code once and deploying to multiple operating systems. Just don’t go there.

If they (Apple) can follow those few simple rules, then we (Microsoft) will be happy to allow them back on Windows.”
