Er, How ‘Bout Some Figures With That?
Scoble claimed Microsoft was cool because someone else developed an app that ran on it, I pointed out it could have been developed on any OS and then Scoble says:
Ahh, at a higher cost. Which is the whole point of why Windows is used so many places.
Got some figures to back that up? For someone who doesn’t even know who wrote the software I find it rather surprising that you’ve done a cost benefit analysis of developing that application on different platforms. Anyone can pull claims out of thin air but you’d have to be crazy to just believe it without figures to back it up. So Scoble, care to back up that rhetoric?

Wait a minute… where did you back up that it *could* have been written on another platform? Maybe yes, maybe no but let’s keep the playing field level.
The cost benefit analysis we should be starting from was done by Amoeba Music. Why did they choose to develop it on Windows? Just because they own Microsoft stock? I doubt it. Most likely it was cheaper to develop and/or deploy.
