PS - syslog is really on everything except Windows and is also on
Windows in the "posix compatibility" support. (Albeit I don't know
where the configuration is done and how it hooks into the windows
logging system as on windows I have always used the windows logging
system.)

On the Mac, with OS-X, syslog is how many things work - but then
that is what you would expect in a unix-like environment.

The Novell NetWare, way back when I last played with it, was also
very unix-like. But this was 18+ years ago...

To me it would look like syslog and Windows logging are the two
main versions and the Windows "posix" support may be all that
is needed to make the API consistant, albeit the end result may
not be the same for the administrator - but then they are running
Windows and thus would expect a Windows-like behavior.
