Don't shoot me!

Mr. Jensen:

Given that…then I don’t understand this from an earlier post (this thread):

WMA Lossless == ALAC == FLAC.

I took that to mean that ALAC, FLAC, and WMA Lossless were equal.  If not, then what does that mean?

Certainly it makes sense that ANYthing from MS is going to have MS hooks in it.  MicroSoft didn’t get to where they are today by writing open source ‘stuff’.
