Sounds to me like the author received a lot of help from Microsoft. 
Typical 'comparing apples to fire hydrants' logic.  Look at the 
'justifications' section.  The fact that windows is the dominate desktop 
is not a justifying criterion.  Further the mention that it is a 
proprietary system seems that he/she is trying to address that issue, 
without doing so.

Such idiots.
