My frustrations.
Every now and then I still come across a website that “is not supported on anything but Microsoft Windows” or in some cases “both Windows and Mac OS.” Yesterday I was browsing through the CW’s website to catch a rerun of an episode I had missed of Reaper. I was instead greeted by a “this operating system is not supported” message.
It is worth noting that the same message greeted me last year (for a similar scenario) and in both cases the site had also mentioned “to stay tuned for support of other Operating Systems.” A year had elapsed and nothing! Which surprises me as the usage of GNU/Linux has increased since then (thankfully to the netbook boom). What would it take to get support for other popular operating platforms? It is almost as if I need to keep a VirtualBox client profile for Windows XP whenever I need to use a more unstable environment.
