AlexCode Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Actually it's more than that... or not... maybe a bit scary :o The thing came from a company called STRYON http://www.halcyonsoft.com and it's called iNET. It converts IL into JAVA... so, any OS where there's a JVM, a .net program will run... For more details see the web page... Just note: iNET R&D Enterprise License: used for all internal conversion and testing - $20,000 iNET Runtime License: must be included with each Java runtime version of application converted using iNET - $5,000 per CPU iNET Support and Maintenance: 24/7 support, all software upgrades. Includes all upgrades required to keep up-to-date with changes made to the .NET framework - $20,000 annually. Enjoy! Alex :p Quote Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
Denaes Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I wouldn't purchase any software at that price. For that much money I could take a few weeks off of work and learn enough Java to do it myself. Thats not really .Net on Mac, but a conversion/emulation (seems like it would be conversion, but since you need a liscense per CPU to run apps, it must be JIT converting it - pretty much emulation) I'd pay money for a .Net Mac IDE and framework. Right now .Net is the only thing keeping me primarily on a PC now that OS X is around. Now you think with that much knowledge of the .Net framework and the Java framework, they could put together a really RAD IDE for Java like the VS IDE (and it's other clones). I think I'd touch java with a decent IDE. In school it was pretty much an overblown text editor. Quote
AlexCode Posted June 30, 2004 Author Posted June 30, 2004 I haven't worked with JAVA until last weekend... I got JBuilder 9 and started coding something... nothing fancy, just a few "Frames" :P with some "Widgets" (or something like that...) My first problem was the "Naming convertion!" as Frames were actually Forms in .net and the Widgets were actually simply Controls in .net... After that, the resemblace the C# have with JAVA gave me some ahead start... When then I found a company selling a converter, that I also believe it's an emulator, for this amazingly stupid price something came to my head... Why don't Microsoft itself develop more Frameworks for all SO's? Are they afraid? Of what? So I'm posting a poll on this matter...to see what you guys think/know about this! Best regards, Alex :p Quote Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
GMMorris Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 MS don't want to support development for Unix, Linux and Mac. Hence they aren't making multi-platform binaries. Quote Latly it would seem as though I'm don't abnegate from anything... except women. :( :)
