- RedLion, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10and the schestowitz's FUD continues. this is the 3rd (or maybe 4th) story that he submits with phrases taken out of context and misleading titles. This PDF, as everybody can read, just talks about MS developing an interoperable solution to compile applications both for windows and MacOS, called WLM and that would have required (obviously) an implementation of both the specific MacOS APIs and Windows APIs.
FTA: "For all of this we should be analyzing the Mac system as it evolves and improving and innovating what makes sense. Whenever we do this, we should make sure it gets expressed in both the Mac and Windows through WLM. This sort of makes our Windows APIs on the Mac the union of the features and gives more features to windows. This is very hard and should only be a goal, not a requirement." - estvir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7That's BS and you know it schestowitz. Maybe if you had done it once or twice, it'd be excusable but doing it daily isn't. You purposefully chose a single comment and took it out of context so you could push your ignorant anti-MS campaign, you just happened to be caught with your pants down by RedLion, who unluckily for you actually read it whereas most people Digging this article won't read it and will simply take your word, which can not be trusted.
I love how as soon as someone points out the FUD schestowitz is posting he starts some tirade about how they're following him around and/or hired by Microsoft, etc. - RedLion, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7oh, so instead of answering my points you simply say "oohh you're chasing me!". What a great argumentation!
so: did you or did you not take out that phrase out of context when from the PDF it can clearly be seen that they're referring to the API implementation needed to make applications interoperable between mac and windows (with WLM)? - flatfish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"and the schestowitz's FUD continues. this is the 3rd (or maybe 4th) story that he submits with phrases taken out of context and misleading titles."
You should see Schestowitz over in comp.os.linux.advocacy.
He constantly submits posts with completely misleading subject lines so he can seed Google.
The difference over there is that the hosers in comp.os.linux.advocacy look upon Schestowitz as some kind of hero.
Totally crazy but very humorous to observe. - schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3I glanced over the document quickly and that's the phrase the caught my eyes. I did not deliberately omit it.

If you remain unconvinced, here is something more recent:
