So? The article mentions pipes as a distinctive feature of *nix systems. Neither it nor I claimed who had it first. The truth is piping from devices, programs and files is pretty much the same in Windows :)

I never said anyone was wrong; only pointing out the origins.

I think one might be able to successfully argue that NIX-like systems and the programs executed on them are distinctively* biased towards pipes.

Regardless, as you said, the point is moot.
