- minxomat 10y agoSo? The article mentions pipes as a distinctive feature of *nix systems. Neither it nor I claimed who had it first. The truth is piping from devices, programs and files is pretty much the same in Windows :)
- binarycrusader 10y agoI never said anyone was wrong; only pointing out the origins. I think one might be able to successfully argue that NIX-like systems and the programs executed on them are distinctively* biased towards pipes. Regardless, as you said, the point is moot.
