[PD] Pd-extended 0.42.5 release candidate 6 released!

[Pagano, Patrick]

The excuse USED to be how friendly and EASY windows/was to use. 
Now it seems not so. I use pure data several courses and the students who are tech(y) and want to use cool linux stuff gravitate there. Usually 1 per semester. The rest have windows7 from the computer they had to get or they have a 3,000$ MAC they use to check email.

Konichiwa,

 Windows in itself is very crappy, it's not really about multimedia,
almost everything isn't good on this platform,
maintaining a list of crappy things on windows would just be a waste of time.

 Just stop removing fresh air from windows users when they can find in it 
applications like PureData, when they are available on this crappy platform.

 Also the little cd isn't able to handle any computer hardware,
without a little bit of knowledge about what is X server for example,
Or simply without the matching hardware.

 (please don't read this serioulsy)

 This even sound very elitistic, the windows users would just use the great cd
that has been compiled by the real people who know things,
and just keep windows for playing their games,
or to run the great music softwares they bought because on linux there are no real solution
that is handling mainstream music composition without knowledge about computers.

 Sorry to put those misplaced arguments, but sometimes I'm wondering about solutions
instead of closing doors.

 The windows version is probably the most downloaded because users aren't satisfied,
and are waiting for the big changes.
