Software pricing Memes

The eternal battle between Windows and Mac developers in their natural habitats. Windows devs: proudly crafting software that looks like it was designed during the Clinton administration, but hey—it technically works! That 32-bit executable will run flawlessly on your grandma's Vista machine from 2007. Who needs aesthetics when you have compatibility with operating systems that even Microsoft wants to forget? Meanwhile, Mac developers create gorgeous, minimalist apps that will absolutely destroy your wallet. "That'll be $9.99 or a lifetime subscription that costs more than your car payment. Oh, and we'll need you to upgrade your OS again because we decided last week's version is ancient history." The duality of developer culture: functional ugliness versus beautiful extortion. Choose your fighter!
