Apple breaks an extreme amount as it deprecates its own standards as
does Microsoft, however Unix programs written according to standards
30 years ago, can be made to run on both Apple and even Microsoft now,
due to both platforms increasing their Posix compliance.

How this applies to a wiki I have no idea.
