If anything it is INVERSELY related, as the more code may cover being able to better recover if something goes wrong and would be more flexible. For example, it takes far less code to reject any date string not entered in the "DD/MM/YYYY" format then it is to automatically convert all other formats to the right one, or just provide a flyout calendar picker.
It can affect performance, however.
I'm possibly out of context here, but if a command on one platform does the same thing as a function that needed to be scripted by the end user on another, well... The one with the command is far simpler and easier to use, thus being more user friendly.
Except that the end user on windows doesn't use commands. and how many lines of code doesn't really have a whole lot to do with how many commands there are. as far as i understand it anyway.
Hmm... The end user on Windows may use commands. "Most users" isn't the same as "end users".
If pigs fly. You're just inventing hypothetical scenarios. It's never been said that coding for windows is easier, just using windows is easier. And the vast **vast** majority of users is never going to use a batch script. Or anything to do with the code.
... You do realise that one tests the strength of an argument by testing the corner cases, don't you? Either way, you failed to understand my point.
I got your point completely. I just don't think it's relevant at all. Your statement about testing the corner cases is to be honest complete and utter bollocks in this case.
Lmao. It isn't. In all cases, any argument must be tested against corner cases. That's how logic works. And no, according to your posts, you don't get my point.
This is a joke, right? The extra lines of code aren't because of "error checking", it's because of Win32 simply not providing the functionality. For example, automatic widget layouts.
Are your friends hardcore technical veterans that know how Windows works and it's strong/weak points?
probably not. For all we know they may be the kind of people who are literally relearning how to use a computer every time they sit down in front of one - even if it's the same one.
You missed your official chance to upgrade for free though. And support for Windows 8.1 ends in 8 months.
