I'm a native, i develop hardware and program for Windows since more than 20 years, after starting on the Atari ST. I programmed for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 for Pen PC, yes, why are these tablets forgotten ? Too early ? No, it's probably just not "handy" :-)
Now I've been programming mobiles also since 6 years.
I love the freedom of getting the most out of a piece of low-end hardware, much more than the original manufacturer or OS designer was interested in.

I hate MSFT, but at the same time i love them, as they are the only ones giving us freedom, privacy, maturity and affordability.
Keep it up !
