I installed Roxio Creator Pro 2010 on my Windows 7 PC and tried to convert a DVD to I-Pod Touch format with the Video Copy & Convert application. I then did the same thing with the Mac version of the same program. My God what a piece of junk the Windows version of this software is...LOL
After compressing for close to 50 minutes, it finally reached 100% and it got stuck there!!!! - It never finished. I had to force the application to close up.
On the other hand, I installed Toast Titanium Pro 10 on my iMac - which is made by Roxio also - And it did one hell of a job. It converted the video to I-Pod Touch format in less than 35 mins and it didn't freeze like its counterpart.
It seems that the Mac version is well written and well made compared to the Windows version. Roxio should apply the same level of quality to the Windows version that they apply to the Mac counterpart. It is such a shame that a lot of Windows software is so poorly written because of either negligence or pure laziness. It's no wonder Windows gets flamed a lot for things that are not even its fault, but the third party application doing the work.
Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill

You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble.
It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030.
Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said:
Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations.
These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
Heaven forbid they lose pennies from their Trillions! Like always, the consumer pays the most. Why is Tim Cooks even talking.....shouldn't he be packing up his office??
If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors...
Get real.
