Gtk+ 2.6.7 for windows is out!

GIMP - Windows installers

Showing a support level unmatched by the industrious and reliable folks at Mozilla Firefox, someone has released a Gtk+ installer for Windows that actually works (unofficially) on windows 98! Yay!

Yeah, sure, these people don't officially want to lift a finger to support win98, and suggest that we should upgrade our OS to XP in order to use their software, and they're maybe the same class of people - and maybe the same people - who shout about how well Open Source Software works on these older machines and how we need not buy a new machine all the time, so, sure, they're equally as bad as the Mozilla Firefox people at hypocrisy ...

... but it's good to see someone actually putting their money where their mouth is. Kudos to the gimp-win team, my biggest thanks.

I fucking well hope the GAIM people thank you too. You're providing the only reason that me and a handful of my peers are actually still using their "let's just write some incompatibility into our code and refuse to backport it" product.

Ask me how well I like Freee Software and the elitist mouthpieces who support it, today.
