Because the hardware is so, so good.
Pickup any laptop (and I've tried them all) and the Apple laptops are consistently more solid and longer lasting. I used to get 6-12 months from a laptop, and after switching to Macbooks I'd get 2-3 years easy.

If you were using QEMU/KVM, it might actually be faster than on native Windows.
But CrApple doesn't do the good parts of the *nix world.

Sadly, I wouldn't notice a difference of 20.16 seconds in our build time. Using our fastest build server, it takes 28 minutes to build our current product.

I did a similar test a while ago, and while I didn't keep the figures, I remember the results were very similar.
I also evaluated VMWare and VirtualBox; VMWare was slightly slower than Parallels, and VirtualBox significantly slower.

I used Macbook Pro (8gb ram, best CPU for the time) with Parallels and Visual Studio for about year, the build times didn't bother me but everything else was sluggish, scrolling was juttery and annoying, even tabbing to a new file felt like it took aeons compared to using VS native. After a while it was just too much friction and I switched to Bootcamp, the experience is so much better.

WHAT THE F***?!?!?
First found out about it here.[^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Oh yea, that will go over well for selfies taken around the White House.

There is already a pocket drone with integrated camera available that is also advertised as selfie drone (no link to avoid spamming; just search for Zerotech Dobby).

Anyone know if it's possible for Jenkins to create ClickOnce packages? Anyone does this? Any resource you know of would be helpful.
Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

As an alternative, you might want to look at Squirrel.Windows[^].

I haven't a clue what to do with it. I did a search, of course, and this outfit is famous for pursuing copyright infringement cases against people who use BitTorrent. I don't.
The odd part is that they claim to have found content owned by me on a commercial website, and want to prepare a case against the thief. I've never heard of that happening before; has anyone else received this odd notice? Should I risk opening the two PDF files they attached?
Weird...

NEVER open anything in an email form people you don't know!!!
If you're really that bothered, you could call them and see it really was a genuine message.
