Way back in the 1990s, when I read a software review that didn't mention what OS it ran on, I could safely assume that did not run on a Mac (this mattered to me because I had a Mac). These days, it seems, if I read a review of a software development product that does not mention what it targets, I can safely assume that it does not support C++ (this matters to me because I develop in C++). I suppose that's just life in the minority, but it would be nice if sometimes you could mention whether C++ is supported. Throw me a bone now and then. Thanks.
