Robert McLaws responds to Joels excellent write up on the MS API War with his article Seven Reasons Why the API War is Not Lost After All. I haven't had a chance to read it completely yet, but some of it makes sense... some seems a bit rose-colored-glasses than realistic, just as Joel took the all-is-lost attitude in his article. Good read anyway. Of course, don't forget that someone hosted on longhornblogs.com may be just a bit biased :)
