So let me get this straight.

You think everyone at Apple is clueless about Windows and you're the
only person with any smarts.

Oh yeah, we can tell how much you're cheering for Apple.

This guy is obviously a troll who does not work for Apple. At the WWDC,
Apple introduced Panther which does borrow some ideas from Windows XP
(which Steve Jobs freely admitted) but it is also built on FreeBSD 5.0
and they also introduced compatibility with some Linux libraries. If
Justin did work at Apple, he would not have posted the above trash
because he would have known about what I just mentioned. The entire
developer community knows this stuff.

Well, we don't know that for sure.

So far, all we know is what he claims, and that among these claims are
that he doesn't have a mac at home (strange, because in most departments
at Apple, it's pretty easy to get your manager to issue you a laptop),
and that he seems reluctant to state the hostnames and IP numbers that
are assigned to me.

Whether this is due to a lack of access, or unfamiliarity with NetInfo
admin tools is not knowable at this time.

At any rate, he's quite entertaining!

We actually know more than that about him.

His first post to csma claimed that employees at Apple were forced to
use the standard issue one-button mouse.

Then, he made some waffling claims about the employee discount which
were later shown to be wrong.

Then, he claimed that Apple was bad because they didn't sell computers
at cost to their employees - in spite of the fact that the 25% employee
discount _is_ roughly at cost.

I don't think he's ever been in Cupertino. I'd guess that it's another
of Edwin's personalites. Eddie's been gone about long enough.
