Re: no dice yet on .net server?

[Michael D. Crawford]

A while back I wrote an opinion piece about how OS vendors to developers a disservice by getting them to write their apps to platform-specific APIs:

Freeing the Developer from OS Vendor Shackles

I think the posix subsystem in NT was originally meant to qualify Windows for government procurement. It's for much the same reason that Apple developed A/UX.

But now that lots of people in the government are using Windows, they're using Win32 apps and not running stuff in posix anymore. So I guess those regulations seem to have fallen by the wayside.
