Talk:Computing platform

message: This use of the word platform for Java came about only because Sun decided to call it that. It creates a difficult time for the primary definition and is ambiguous. It should be set aside on a disambiguity page, and/or taken out of this article. A computing platform consists of a specific type of CPU and Operating System. Ste4k 13:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Adding GUI as a platform, although Windows bundled GUI, however kernel is OS, Gnome and KDE also in my view a platform on it's own i.e. Gnome GTK+ Vs Kde QT.  There are different although most Linux Distribution support both.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by My wing hk (talk • contribs) 11:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Houston, we have a problem. We have a page on "Computing platform" and another on "Platform computing". The content overlaps by about 80% (and neither is very good). We need to merge the content, turn one page into a link to the other, and then build out from there.
The definition of computing platform used here is much too limited. A good starting point would be the book Invisible Engines (Evans/Haqiu/Schmalensee). We need to introduce the distinction between one-sided platforms (e.g. Sony Playstation) and two-sided (e.g. MS Windows). The whole Platform-as-a-Service (e.g. Google App Engine) and Software-as-a-Service (e.g. Salesforce.com) also needs to be tied in. Geoffarnold
:I agree with this and the section on definition. Shouldn't there be a disambiguation section or page that categorizes what the word "platform" means. Is J2EE a platform? How about Facebook as a development platform? Can one define a platform as a set or combination of other technologies? Scottlawrencelawson (talk) 19:56, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: More to do

message: Could someone please clarify what is meant in the following phrase?
It is an agreement that the platform provider gave to the software developer that logic code will interpret consistently
I believe there could be a missing preposition or something...anyways, it is a bit confusing, so if you could clear it up it would be greatly appreciated.Weekipedian (talk) 21:39, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grammar problems...? 

message: So it would be nice if someone could create a template for all the different computing platforms. I think it would be enough if it's a just a small icon of the OS and a hovertext on it with the name of the OS.
For example this logo could be used for Android: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Android_robot.svg (with the hovertext being "Android").
I thought it was needed when editing List of Wikipedia mobile applications but these templates could also be used for all games / software articles.

message: I tried to simplify it just a little bit in 2-3 words but please, I'm far from being an expert in the subject... I am just learning some programming now; Please if you can simplify it a bit more... Thank you... Ben-Yeudith (talk) 01:13, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
