AnthonySPT, you are incorrect on many levels. If you mean proprietary "standards" then yes, Windows certainly brought those in. We are all still suffering under their proprietary patent encumbered "standards" via no choice and high prices.
There were many real standards which other operating systems used. Mac OS was the first widestream real usable OS. Microsoft copied it with the hugely inferior Windows OS which ran on top of the even worse DOS.
Guess you never heard of POSIX? well, i bet you did, but simply neglected to mention it? x.500? Kerberos? OpenGL? (just to mention a few) You know all things Microsoft "extended" with their proprietary crap making interoperability a nightmare.
Of course you know OSX supports more industry standards? Yeah, i am sure you do. And Apple does not extend them with proprietary extensions either.

Who am I attacking in my posts? I did make an error based on other sites statements which I assumed were true about Joe Wilcox. Joe says he does not take money from Microsoft so therefore he is not a Microsoft shill. I take him at his word. He just hates Apple and loves Microsoft for some reason. Ban me for that, I am ok with it.
But you can never say I have personally attacked anyone or insulted them such as what we have seen from the "imposter" users.
