> Why they haven't come out with a native version of SC is completely beyond me. Yes, my last position before I retired was as a VP of software development at a cryptography company, so I know the level of effort required.

since when do VPs know about engineering, oh wait they don't, above is another proof

Because you have no idea that SC uses the WIN32 API and they need wine to be able to run.

Let me explain this to you in Layman's terms Mr. VP aka Mr. Beyond Me:

They use the WIN32 API in Windows for SC and for Linux they would need to migrate this to POSIX for system calls and GTK/Qt for GUIs.

Despite your stupidly insulting snark (which exposes your emotional immaturity), I've been writing code since before you were born, so I am VERY well aware of how the Win32 API works.

What a completely irrational post. Grow up, willya?
