News that developers prefer XP, Linux not all bad for Vista

Only 8 percent of developers are targeting Windows Vista according to a new report from analysts Evans Data Corporation. 49 percent of developers are developing for Vista's soon-to-be-discontinued predecessor, Windows XP, and even Linux is beating Vista, with some 13 percent of development focused on the open-source OS.

The answer came in a recent survey of developers claimed that less than 1 in 12 developers were actively developing software that was Vista-specific.

Developers Cool to Vista, Evans Study Finds

Fewer than one in 10 software developers are writing applications to run on Windows Vista this year, compared to almost 50 percent who are targeting Windows XP, according to the latest survey of North American developers from Evans Data. While Evans predicts 23 percent of programmers will target the new OS in 2009, the slower-than-expected adoption of Vista by users and developers alike weighs heavily on Microsoft and its decisions for XP end-of-life and Windows 7, which is penciled in for 2010.

Linux kernel developers: Say no to closed-source modules

The developers' statement stressed that they are speaking for themselves, and not any of their employers. Although the issue of proprietary kernel modules is not new, the matter recently came to a head, according to the developers. "We have just been receiving a constant stream of questions from companies asking how the Linux kernel developers feel about closed-source modules over the past year or so," reads an accompanying FAQ page.

Vista's big problem: 92 percent of developers ignoring it

German Survey Company Loses 41,000 Survey Records

mister_woods writes "It's not just governments that lose private data. Germany's Chaos Computer Club (CCC) reports that market research firm TNS Infratest/Emnid has lost 41,000 private data records of their survey participants. By simply changing the customer ID number in the browser's address bar access could be gained to comprehensive survey results, including names, addresses, dates of birth, email addresses, phone numbers and much more sensitive data. A CCC spokesman described this as 'unprofessional, grossly negligent and above all deeply worrying' and sees this loss as a vindication for its calls for strict regulations for public and private sector data collectors."

SOA guys do not embrace developers

I’ve heard from a few developers that many SOA guys don’t like to get input from developers. I’m not sure why that is, since architecture and development go hand in hand, but I’ve heard this lesson more than a few times and would like to address it.

Mobile Developers Still Favor .Net and Java, But The Popularity Of Linux And Android Is Growing

One way to look into the future to see which cell phones will be popular is by figuring out what platform developers are building applications for today. Developers tend to pick platforms that are easy to work with and present the biggest market opportunity. Likewise, if developers gravitate to particular platforms, consumers will be drawn to the same ones because they’ll offer the greatest choice of applications. Today’s favorites aren’t surprising, according to Evans Data, which polled nearly 400 developers. The top phone manufacturer is Nokia (NYSE: NOK), while the top platforms, are Microsoft’s (NSDQ: MSFT) .Net and Sun Microsystem’s Java ME. This is interesting to note because the media is constantly writing about a handset war developing between RIM (NSDQ: RIMM) or Mac OS, which could indeed be brewing, but on a fairly sma
