Useless for coding anything more then a routine now and then. Cannot code a complete app in that thing. What you __confess__ to btw, when you say you prefer C. Cannot become one with that syntax and be creative. You are just provoking, because you know damn well that RosAsm is the only assembler worthy coding apps with. :) >> I see no longer any reason to use windows. > > Then put your eyeglasses on.

I use an OS for the fun of it, for reading documents, for experimenting with technology and for learning, for watching movies, listening to music, audio and video podcasts, and audiobooks. And for chatting and searching the web. This is also what 90% of user do. So they do not need windows anymore, either. Because all of this is available for free in Linux, and the one disto I have does this many times more efficient then windows. But it costs and arm and a leg if you do it with windows. Ubuntu is free, and it promises to remain free. And the speed it is evolving at is terrific. By the end of this decade, even Bill Gates will prefer Linux. :)

Yes if everyone would *have to* use windela, they would use the "Volkswagen" C (a much better comparison), and not the Ferrari Assembly, or more likely would write their own Assemblers. I don't know what IDEs are available for Linux, but in Windows those who do use Assembly, either use RosAsm with its integrated IDE, or RadAsm which is a great IDE configurable for all Assemblers around, where you can add Menus, Dialog Boxes or any other Resource very easily to your Assembly project, and nicely manage your source files. If you'd bother to take a look at RadAsm, you would not make that absurd statement again! With such a Programming environment, who would use a Volkswagen when he gets a Ferrari for free! -- wfz

To say it with Betov's words: show me your applications written in assembly!
