May 28, 2012 at 7:53 comment added Uday Reddy @JeffE Mac's are close-coupled systems, where everything from the machine architecture to application programs are decided by one team/organization. Windows systems are open, where a variety of manufacturers and teams provide solutions that plug together, relying only on the standards and interfaces that have been specified (often loosely and vaguely). They are much more of a challenge to Computer Science. The Microsoft teams that developed the theorem proving/static analysis techniques to do this safely have made fundamental advances to our field.
