Have to say that "author" was particularly ignorant.
Didn't seem to appreciate the difference between a
filesystem and the OS that runs on top of it. Didn't
know that Unix evolved on a variety of filesystems.
Most tellingly, when complaining about "Unix compatibility",
didn't know that OS X is a fully certified, POSIX-compliant
Unix, but that Linux is not.
He is right that most other OSes will not read HFS+
without special help, but that is not necessarily the fault
of Apple.

Maybe not.
A few weeks ago in a thread discussing investment tracking apps, Tom
recommended Google Finance. I've been checking it out lately and
today on
GF there was the following link...

It seems from the Linux perspective, Apple didn't get its file system
compatibility right. Check the poll results.
