With each successive generation of technology, we collectively make each leap faster and with slightly less pain. However, as a music fanatic, the jump from tape to CD/mp3 was a tough one for me. Enter the Plusdeck2 Tape-RW PC Cassette Deck. This fantastic device, supplied by geeks.com, has been one of the best devices I've had the pleasure of reviewing. Read on for the complete story.

I've found that WAVs, raw WAVs at least, are functionally identical to AIFFs. E.g., I've had (IIRC) older versions of CDex that wouldn't recognize/convert AIFF files, but I just used a CMD prompt to change their extension to .wav and it worked fine.
As far as I can tell, raw audio is pretty much just raw audio.

Actually, WAV's prevalence might not stem from it being a MS format: as the Wikipedia correctly points out, the RIFF format (that WAV belongs to) is "a clone of Electronic Arts's Interchange File Format, introducted in 1985, the only difference being that multi-byte integers are in little-endian format". Since IFF files were used on both Amigas and Macs, the support for RIFF was pretty easy to implement.
