Subject:Run or be run? From:Kirsten Zerbinis <salmonzerbinis -at- rogers -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 28 Mar 2003 12:25:02 -0500
Here's a usage question that is occupying way too much of my mind.
Which is correct?
a) Our software runs on Windows; or
b) Our software is run on Windows?
In addition, would it be wrong to say "Windows can run our software"?
Reply privately if this is just too small and stupid to occupy
everyone's time with.

(who is having one of those moments where the word "run" has become
completely meaningless)
