No, they actually weren't.
The "users" don't have any say whether Windows complies with any standard, or even if Microsoft breaks all of them to try to force the world to submit to their "vendor lock-in" business strategy.
Trying to pass off the consequences of vendor lock-in policies as technical arguments is somewhere between absurd and disingenuous.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoYou said the only purpose of what Windows did was locking in people. I said it was to provide software that let people accomplish what they want while making profit sustained by lockin tricks. Are you saying Microsoft never intended people to use Windows API or software to accomplish their personal goals? That there is zero benefit to users of Windows in consumer or business space?
