Unix has long been the testing platform for new concepts -

Why is it that commonplace unix programs have never run on microsoft 
platforms? (e.g. the auto-mounter daemon)

Every "new" concept in windows and nt is nothing more than second or 
third generation hand-me-downs from unix or the mainframe world.

Or do you really beleive bill gates invented the internet?
