[Snip insulting insinuations]

Can't you at least confine the flamewar to the original thread?
I know damn well what POSIX is -- the standard describing the 
behavior of stock unix tools and protocols. I was surprised that M$ 
would have anything to do with POSIX, or any other widely and freely 
implemented standard, but then realized they might if they figured to 

encourage users to migrate to one of their own closed and proprietary 

standards. In this case, from unix to Winblows.
