All Destops Are NOT Apple!… At Least Not Yet.

Today I was introduced the nice (as I hear) Web 2.0 application which enables 1-click uploading of images. It sounded great and it was a public beta, so I didn’t think twice (my mistake) before signing up for it. I activated by email and I was raring to go… and then disaster struck.

The file I was downloading was a dmg file. The file extension didn’t sound right. A quick googling revealed it to be OS X file format!

Nowhere in the site it is mentioned that it is a Mac OS X only application. That is just plain wrong. I can understand Windows developers not mentioning their platform and assuming that all users are expected to be on Windows by default as Microsoft Windows still has around 90% (wild guess) of desktop market share. However Apple! Apple will be glad to have even 3% (wild guess again) market share for crying out loud. Isn’t it presumptuous to present a Web 2.0 application and failing to mention that it works only on 3% of desktop machine at best?
