Everyone knows it's true without any actual evidence, so nobody tries. Who does do APIs well today? Microsoft's API story is a disaster, so despite decades of market dominance, their networking APIs are not defacto standard. While it looks like Linux does APIs well, actually, it just does a really good job at getting the public APIs implemented. The IPv6 BSD sockets API is a roaring success. It's just not enough given MIF, DNSSD, IPsec, LISP, etc. The problem space has expanded. The problem is getting API work funded across Google, Apple, MS, *BSD, and Linux. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] m...@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [
