I wouldn't be quick to blame Microsoft for iso9660. It was designed to |
| 7 |
be a one-size-fits-all standard so it would work on all (well, most) |
| 8 |
systems. There is even a part in the standard for file versions as to |
| 9 |
work with VMS systems (I guess you could blame Digital for that one). |

OTOH there are plenty of non-standard, incompatible extensions to |
| 11 |
ISO9660 you can blame (Rock Ridge: Unix, Joliet: Microsoft, El Torito: |
| 12 |
IBM, Mac OS: Apple). |
