| #creative (see [1]) The Apple implementation is "logically the same" as the Microsoft implementation, yet so much cleaner. check for yourself. http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html vs http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt i won't comment on the differences, which include the meaningless URL and useless "ncsi" in the text, and the fact that it still looks like an error rather than a successful test page. The Apple page is absolutely minimal. Yet everything is in its place, and it can't leave any developer confused for a millisecond, or make a typo, as it's a human English word at a human, English URL. Apple is Apple. Microsoft is a split millisecond of headache for a developer who rechecks his spelling of "ncsi" and the whole meaning of the ncsi concept three times to make sure his code is correct. just like windows versus mac. yeah, it's logically the same. but one just works, one requires a three-page document. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766017%28WS.10%... ---- [1] This post is tagged as being creative (as opposed to rational). as a note, about half of my posts speak to creativity and design and half speak to rationality and logic. most people only do one or the other, so i can understand why each group is confused by the other. this lets me build two brands. just ignore the posts that don't apply to you. |
Now stop trolling.
