"Within the next few weeks, Microsoft will be releasing beta 2 of Windows Vista. The actual ship date of Vista hasn't been announced, but Microsoft's new OS is likely to ship sometime this Fall. Since Windows Vista was announced, some of the bleeding-edge features have been scaled back. For example, WinFS, a file system built using relational database concepts, won't be included in the final release. But it's likely that the Windows Vista's feature list is now stable enough that we can predict what kind of system you'll need to build today to accommodate the new OS."

The intent seems fairly obvious to me:
Likewise, if you develop a filesystem, we welcome you to extoll its virtues in a thread about filesystems, but if you bring it up out of the blue during a discussion of developer tools, your comment will be removed.
I don't see how a generic IT consulting link is on-topic. If you want to link your posts to something, store it in your profile's URL field.
And I don't understand why my original post was modded down. People should be told at least once when they violate the rules; otherwise, they think they're being modded down for posting unpopular opinions.

Windows run on normal wide-range hardwares (known as white-box?), whereas Mac OSX run on "apple-only" certified hardwares. That means OSX is developed, compiled with optimised driver for such apple-certified hardwares.
