While it doesn’t excuse Microsoft or Android - I am of the personal opinion (mostly) that if someone wants to be a purist to that degree (by choice), they can live with the consequences ;)

 

 

If that purist is your OS vendor, other people have to deal with the consequences (how many users user Android and Microsoft Windows?)

 

In any case, for some it might be ok to do both, for some it's not ok. But I think we can all agree that it's better for everyone if all client OSs can support all options.  Right now, we have allies within one of these guys who need our help to ensure we can have those options ... 

 

 

So if you are official Windows user, please get in touch with your rep and ask for it. (whether you will actually use it is a totally different matter)
