did you actually read what this is about? It's about debugging, not about compiling. You just seem to have taken this as an opportunity for some ranting which doesn't even make that much sense. Did you think about the fact that even if MS would have a C99 compiler, it extremely likely would still not be able to compile the kernel because of the tons of platform- (and even compiler- if I remember correctly) specific stuff in there. Also Apple the largest software company? Not Google or so? Numbers? Evidence?
