[Qgis-user] What is the matter with QGis versus MS Windows?

[Mats Elfström]

Hi! (this is a bit OT rant)

What it the matter with Qgis versus MS Windows?
According to w3schools, the windows family operating systems account for 90%
of all users world wide.
There is nothing to indicate that GIS people should differ from this
pattern.
Open source should not be platform dependent but I still claim that QGis is.
There are dozens of Mac and Linux versions with funny names but only two
Windows versions that apparently never works satisfactorily.
I have all but given up recommending QGis for Windows systems.

For those of you who like me belong to the unimaginative majority of windows
users, take a look at MapWindow Open Source GIS
http://www.mapwindow.org/
which installs and runs flawlessly on 90% of the worlds computers.

Cheers, Mats.E
