How Microsoft Lost the API War

This is an intersting article I found while surfing the net. Joel Spolsky shared his experience and thought about Windows API and web. This is a must read article along with Raymond Chins’s Blog. He is a senior programmer at Microsoft. His blog mainly explaining history of Windows and his own experience in ensuring its backwards compatibility. You just can’t ignore to read it.
