I just downloaded and tried to install the 'Rosetta' rough sets tool on my laptop with OS Windows 10, but I can't. And after I search, it seems only compatible for Windows 98 / XP. But the problem I saw in the video tutorial is that anyone can run it on an OS that looks like that. Does anyone know of a solution to being able to use Rosetta on Windows 10?
Error message when I install Rosetta
I have just solved this problem after many days of googling and trying various ways. I use the "Run programs made for previous versions of Windows" feature in the control panel, then troubleshoot. I have also written down the step I did on that, and I uploaded in my medium story, but in "Bahasa Indonesia". So if you want to read it, you can translate it into English first to understand.

I've been trying to download Xcode but when I open it nothing happens.
Xcode_8.1.xip
Do I need to us using a Mac to be programming for iOS? I am currently using Windows 10.
Simply, yes, you need to have a Mac, or some other macOS running computer to run Xcode. But...
There is a way to run Xcode on Windows, however it's a bit of work. You can follow a tutorial on the internet like this one to get Xcode working on Windows.
Let it be known that even though Xcode will run on Windows using this, it is definitely not good in quality compared to on a Mac, as there will be lag and unnecessary difficulties that wouldn't be there on Mac.
Wondering if anyone else is successfully using irfanview on OSX ML?
Or if you might suggest an alternative - a quick-n-easy image viewer with similar browsing features. (sry, iphoto and preview just seem to lack the features I miss from irfanview)
Found this solution using WineBottler [edited for recent versions and Mountain Lion].
Technically it works - irfanview does install on OSX.ML. And irfanview can read many file formats just fine. But it appears to be limited to 'built-in' formats and has problems loading images which use one of its plugins.
The Z: directory maps to the mac root. Once I figured that out it made more sense. Also, it is a bit clunky to use and not quite as convenient as it is on Windows. (Sort of sad. Well, I will just keep looking!)

Try WineBottler
This free software is a wrapper for WINE, which unlike other Windows emulators is really simple to set up.
It just works.
1 download WineBottler and install it. I used the developer version of wine-bottler (does not need X11 which OSX.ML no longer has by default)
2 Download the latest version of IrfanView (4.36)
3 Start WineBottler and Create a Custom Prefix
4 For the Install File, select the IrfanView installation file you just downloaded
5 In the Winetricks section select vcrun6
6 Click Install
You'll then see a standard Windows installation - follow the prompts.
At the end there's a pop-up, from which you should select ivew32.exe as the executable to run. (it defaulted to the slideshow for me)
That's it! WineBottler generates an Irfanview App that can by launched like any Mac App.
Solution found! (for me at least)
feh
Used Homebrew to install it. (Thanks Homebrew!)
On OSX.ML, this requires X11 install too (used XQuartz 2.7.4 which i had installed anyway).
I'm a unix / terminal / command line user so 'feh' works very well for me.
Unfortunately doesn't handle webp naturally yet (probably only a matter of time tho). But I can use Chrome for view those images in a pinch.
Might be worth checking out PicTwiddle Lite - only supports the most common image formats, but it wasn't clear from your question what you need. Similar browsing to IrfanView though, plus you can browse folders/thumbnails in fullscreen which is nice. And it has an OSX version.
You have to scroll down to the bottom of the page for the Lite/Free version: http://pictwiddle.com/download/
This question already has answers here:
Is there a IE tester for mac? [closed]
(7 answers)
Closed 10 years ago.
I'm a webmaster that use mac platform to develop. Can someone suggest me the best way to test my website with IExplorer using a Mac? There're some virtualizer such as parallel, crossover, wine and so on, can someone suggest me the best for this purpose?
Or some other workaround is appreciated (i really don't need an entire copy of windows, only to test my websites on IE6 and IE7 using my mac)
First: Look at the question linked to in the comments. If you just need to see what a site looks like, browsershots.org will do the trick. But if you need to fully test and debug, you need Windows. But that can be done too:
Purchase Parallels Desktop
Download free Windows virtual machines directly from Microsoft made specifically for this purpose. You can rename the .exe self-extracting archives .rar instead, and unpack with anything that can extract RAR files
Import the resulting virtual machine image into Parallels, and you're done
Just know that many of the Windows images are huge. You'll need something like 40GB free to download, unpack and convert the Windows Vista and Windows 7 images (once you're done, you can of course toss a bunch of stuff out again)
Edit: Oh, yeah, forgot to mention: The Windows images last about 3 months at a time before they lock down completely, and you have to download a fresh copy. Microsoft obviously isn't giving away fully-fledged Windows copies for free :)
One option is to join MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network subscription) to get access to all Windows versions in all languages etc. You can install those you need in separate Parallels virtual machines (VMWare and virtualbox would work as well).
This allows you to install the exact version some customer happens to have, e.g. certain old Windows Server with certain IE version, etc to replicate the environment for testing and regression testing.
I would say that virtual machine installations are a must so you get the exact complete real thing.
MSDN has different options, "OS only" would be probably enough for this need (I had other needs for Windows development tools as well so got the full MSDN). MSDN has a cost (on the order of $1k/year) but was worth it to get access to everything for development and testing purposes.
PS. The only fun thing was that as a Mac-based UNIX developer I had many versions of Windows and many versions of Linux installed on my MacBook, but only one installation of OSX ;-) Some people also thought it was fun to see a "Mac developer" with "MSDN subscription", but whatever gets the work done, is the way to go.
I've been looking on golang.org for a Windows compiler, but I can't seem to find it. I can only see Linux and OS X compilers. Does anyone know if Go programming can be done on Windows, or is it something that Google hasn't implemented yet?
Update: appears that as of now (Nov. 2012) golang.org has official binary releases for windows 32/x86_64.
There are now installers for Windows, see Go under Windows
HelloWorld.go
package main
func main() {
println("Hello World!");
}
Compile with 8g, link with 8l and then execute. Example:
8g HelloWorld.go
8l -o HelloWorld.exe HelloWorld.8
HelloWorld
It hasn't made it onto the Go Lang FAQ yet, but from the changelog:
Why doesn't Go run on Windows?
We understand that a significant fraction of computers in the world
run Windows and it would be great if those computers could run Go
programs. However, the Go team is small and we don't have the
resources to do a Windows port at the moment. We would be
more than willing to answer questions and offer advice to anyone
willing to develop a Windows version.
Yes! As of 2012 the Go homepage offers an official Windows installer (32 or 64 bit) https://golang.org/dl/
Despite the fact that Go is only two days old, this question has already become a FAQ on the Go mailinglist. (Unfortunately, it has not yet been added to the FAQ list on the website.)
Basically, Go is done by a very small group of people, so they simply do not have the time nor the resources to do a Windows port. That very small group of people also happens to be the people who invented Unix, so that was kind of a natural first target.
So if you, like me, are on Windows a lot of the time and want to do some Go programming right now, you can do it on a VM. I use VirtualBox running Ubuntu in seemless mode. I already had it set up because I like Linux better than Windows for a lot of things.
Building and working with Go has been totally painless for me. I have a Bash open in a terminal to run my build and try my app. The source directory is a shared folder between Windows and Linux (a VirtualBox feature but I'm sure VMWare has the same thing). I edit my code in Komodo Edit on Windows and use Mercurial for the same source code on both OSes.
Not yet.
The authors of Go have very very deeply roots on non Windows operating systems ( Trivia: who of them created no less than the very UNIX operating system )
So, don't expect to have a Windows port from them any time soon.
The language is open source, so it will be just a matter of time ( make it from 6 - 8 ehrm months ) for a Windows implementation will be available.
Although there is no Windows version at the moment, it can presumably be compiled using Cygwin on a Windows platform.
Various efforts to port Go to windows are underway.
The most advance and that can already build and run some code is here: http://code.google.com/r/hectorchu-go-windows/
Installation of Go on windows is straight forward if you use the experimental x32 windows port . Documentation of the steps for Go installation on windows can found here
You will probably also want the MinGW tools (bash, make, gcc, etc...):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
and the GTK+ files and tools (the "all-in-one bundle" includes pkg-config):

About 2 years ago I dropped windows from my home PC and switched 100% to linux (fedora, then ubuntu) - The missus wasn't too happy but she got used to it and learned a thing or two. Then about 6 months ago I got myself a shiny new Macbook and since moving to OSX have never looked back; Unfortunately I've not been successful in getting my employer to buy me one for work (and I can't be carrying mine back and forth) so I have to "put up" with windows.
I started out with windows over 8 years ago so I have a really good understanding of how it works and have done my fair share of Win32/MFC/.NET development.
My question is; Who else has to use a windows box at work (and have a mac at home) And how do you cope - what windows apps/configurations do they use that let them work in a similar fashion to OSX? - I was just thinking how cool it would be if I could get some sort of keymapping app that re-mapped my windows keys to the OSX variants (Apple+W, Apple+Q, Apple+Left, Apple+Right, etc etc).
I miss expose (TopDesk is nice but not free)...
I miss the simplicity of finder...
I miss the nice smooth dialogs and windows and shadows (YzShadow can juuuuust cope)
I miss the underlying unix framework (I run andLinux at work)
I miss OSX :(
Unfortunately 90% of our clients use IE so windows is a must; They also can't justify the expense of a mac for a developer; Especially a Mac Pro :-p
Ah well.
Operating System is just a tool, if you are building cross platform applications (or web applications[it depends only your target web browser]) and you can use whatever operating system you like , you can install windows xp in virtual machine on your osx for using IE for example, but if your company forces you to login on their domain controller, using outlook for email and task management that project manager assigns to you, this is different story. As you mentioned multiple operating systems at work and home, personally I use Linux at home but I use Windows at work because in my day to day job I write a lot of C# .NET code but at home I spend time by programming with open source technologies and I use it because I've used Linux since October 2001. So try to get used to it.
Might I suggest if you like life on the command line that you try PowerShell as a replacement for cmd on the windows box. It has aided me tremendously in my transistion from a Unix Server environment.You have a profile and the ability to create aliases and modify things. Now I never have to worry about using one of my trusted Unix commands, and if I find one that wasn't already taken care of by the PowerSHell team I just create it and add it to my profile. ls, process grep, top, and find for the the win!!
I think the single best thing I've done to maximize productivity is to standardize my text editor across platforms. Personally I use vim as mush as possible. I use viemu to integrate into visual studio on windows, have replaced notepad with gvim, and I use vim on mac and linux alike.
You could remap shortcuts, but the simple ones are the same anyhow. Personally I dont have a problem remembering both. I do go through a mental exercise every few minutes to look for OS specific landmarks to remind me Im on Vista or OS X, which helps me to stay focused.
I'd also look into Powershell if you're a fan of Linux scripting, its the coolest shell going IMNSHO. Failing that there is always Interix
I don't have a lot of pain switching from one to the other on a daily basis. At the end, I spent the most of my time either in Eclipse, which is quite plateform independant, and Opera web browser.
For the rest, I use launchy to poorly mimic quicksilver and e as a replacement for Textmate.
In the end, I'm more statisfied of my mac, not because of the software it provide, but rather for the software it don't provide, such as Toad or IE that I'm force to use for my work.
Although there are many ways to skin Windows to look like OS X, none of the solutions deliver the real OS X experience. Not in terms of OS Features, that'd be impossible, but the look and feel is always different. I remember skinning for the sake of pleasure, my Windows XP box (like 5 years ago) and used Windows Blind plus a lot of tools (YZDock!) to have a "WS X" ;)
It never felt the same.
You could try a "hackintosh", if your hardware is "ok" with OS X. Then run VMWare/Parallels.
Or else, you just do like me:
Cry a river. Build a Bridge and get over it. :)
I use OS X (Mac Pro) but I code in C#, so I'm 90% of the day in Windows VIsta in Full Screen in one of the many Spaces; the advantage is that VMWare (and Parallels) let you map your keys so I can cmd-c/v inside Windows.
I understand your frustration :S
Unfortunately 90% of our clients use IE so windows is a must
IE6 works under OS X without Windows (fonts aren't quite right, but it's enough for everyday testing), and you can get it 100% perfect under virtualisation (Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox).
As a software developer I pretty much live in my text editor and shell. In the jobs where I've been forced to use windows I install emacs and cygwin and I'm off to the races.
I don't focus on the periphery -- control panels, window managers, etc -- I focus on what I really use 90+% of the time and don't sweat the rest.
A little bit of cygwin to take the pain out of windows. Any virtual environment will work. A mac can run parallels hosting windows with the enforced outlook requirements.
If it's not a financial burden and your company allows it, just get yourself a macbook. I bring my macbook to home and work everyday. I have external 24" screen at work, and it's no difference to working on a windows box. I run parallels when I need to use windows/IE, otherwise, all my time are spent on the mac.
Another important item in this arrangement is an external harddrive for backup at work. Time machine hourly backup + windows work file sync and you're all set. This way, you don't have to worried about losing your work if you get robbed or get into an accident.
I was in the same situation - Mac at home, Windows at work. There isn't really any way to bring the Mac experience to Windows without something breaking or a badly-written program misbehaving. You just have to get used to adjusting between the two.
The only three things that constantly caught me out were hitting Shift-2 for the "#" sign in Windows (I have a UK keyboard, but the Mac uses the American key position), trying to use two fingers and a mouse click on the Windows laptop trackpad for a right-click, and hitting F9 for Expose. Swapping between Command-C and Ctrl-C didn't really bother me.
I use Windows XP at work and Mac OS X and Linux at home.
Windows XP frustrates me everyday. If I only used it I would get used to the limitations, but being exposed to them daily (and the plethora of awful software for it, from the dire Checkpoint VPN client, to the clunkiness of Outlook) and then experiencing decent software in the evening just underlines XP's limitations (and to be fair, XP is venerable these days).
However making the switch on a daily basis isn't a problem, #/" issue aside.
The only thing I ever did to make the Mac more "windows-like" was install Office for Mac. I've never had a problem with files I couldn't read or write, and the "student edition" is pretty cheap. Recently, for dealing with IE6 I used bootcamp bought and an MSDN copy of XP to install XP on partition on my Macbook. No problems.
I regularly use OSX, Windows and Linux and the only times I get confused is when I'm running XP under VMWare on my Macbook. For some reason, when my fingers are on the Mac keyboard, I have a lot of trouble using Windows key strokes.
Otherwise, no real problems.
I don't have much of an issue. I can do most of my development work in OSX, eclipse works, Coda is an awesome web development tool, but when I need to use Visual Studio, I can, either by running in Fusion, or booting into windows via bootcamp.
Having the luxury of a windows install on bootcamp means I can also run games better than most of the Windows PC's i've owned!
