all these devices could run Linux, yes. All webapps could run on Windows, too. But as POSIX won the webapp server war, Windows won the expensive machine war.

also, you seem to very much want me to demand that antirez codes a windows port, for free, pronto. i never asked for anything like that. i was, and still am, only referring to antirez's conclusion that POSIX is the 99.99% platform for all places where Redis could the best fitting option. I was hoping for him to slightly adjust that conclusion. What he does with it afterwards is entirely up to him.

I apologize for implying that if I did. That was not my intention.

Oh! I appreciate the apology. Very much, in fact. Also, if you felt I was rude back to you at some point, please know that I did not intend for that either.

(offtopic) Really, it's this stuff that keeps me on HN. The ability to shake hands and move on is quite seldom on internet forums.
