Remind can be made to run under Windows if you compile it with the
Cygwin tools. However, I prefer you not to do that. Microsoft has in
the past abused its monopoly position in an attempt to restrict free
software, and currently exercises its dominant position in the
business computing industry to lock its customers in. I'd prefer you
to run Remind on a platform that is not controlled by Microsoft.
Apple Policy
Remind can be made to run under Mac OS X, but I prefer you not to do
that. Apple is even more hostile than Microsoft to openness, using
both technical and legal means to hobble what its customers and
developers are allowed to do. If you are thinking of buying an Apple
product, please don't. If you're unfortunate enough to already own
Apple products, please consider switching to an open platform like
Linux or FreeBSD that doesn't impose "1984"-like restrictions on your
freedom.
Tim Bray, a major Internet technology pioneer, said it best in his
blog post:
The iPhone vision of the mobile Internet's future omits
controversy, sex, and freedom, but includes strict limits on who
can know what and who can say what. It's a sterile Disney-fied
walled garden surrounded by sharp-toothed lawyers. The people who
create the apps serve at the landlord's pleasure and fear his
anger.
