Oh, no, that's what the sigh was for; Windows has the best model, but there's no equivalent on UNIX, so, you end up having to code to the lowest common denominator (the UNIX model) if you want your software to run somewhere else other than Windows (i.e. almost all open source software).
I'm not disputing any of the technical things he's saying; just ranting about the unfortunate nature of two vastly different kernel models, and the fact that no open source stuff properly exploits Windows facilities, despite them being technically superior.
