Thx Bill.

What do you expect from a design by some daft bint riding around in a taxi?

One thing I love to do is grab my bar and give it a good shake. Talking about Windows 7 UI enhancements of course.

OS is not just the Kernel: GNU Linux for example, new Kernel but lots of stuff from GNU, all together one OS - separately not useable (certainly not kernel), same for Windows - kernel is a very small part, the real meat around is what makes it a POS.

HTH

FTFY!

[Churchill]

Bring back OS/2

FTFY!

OS X uses the Mach kernel. Here and here.

I thought the OS-X kernel had its origins in the BSD kernel. I think the original multitasking Windows kernel is also based on the BSD kernel.

Digital Research's DR DOS 6.2 with the inclusion of DELTREE was without doubt the best!

Pah, who needs DELTREE when you had Norton Commander 3.0?

Setting fire to your laptop seems a bit extreme

MS DOS 5.0 was the best...

TBH ... Window's NT/2000 was the last one I really liked. Have came round to XP as it's improved ... Vista spent a whole 2 hours on my laptop before it was burned!

have been running win 7 since RC1 and haven't had any issues. Have it installed on my main business laptop and have just this weekend upgraded it to a legit retail copy. It's far far better than vista, it just simply works IMO.

Its fine. Provided you have HUGE amounts of memory. And very fast CPU.

Multiple core CPU's

Which version of DOS?

Dos4, I'd believe.

3.3, never.

You can get working copies of Vista?

That's almost unheard of.
