First it was the article on how Microsoft lost the API war and now we have an article on how Microsoft has lost the Joel war. It’s an interesting and well thoughtout take on how developers shouldn’t necessarily fear Microsoft and should not put all of their attention into the browserspace.

The harshest conclusion is that Joel’s article is a piece of FUD from a very frightened ISV (Independent Software Vendor), who has decided to try and invent the future.

Ouch.
