Best OS of all time - well there's a surprise!

:laugh: And exactly how long has vista been out? And, how many of those who vote have actually tried to use vista with their existing apps?

But that's the normal procedure for voting, isn't it? :)
*grin* well, I guess it's the normal way to create a predictable poll to use in marketing.

I've made an honest attempt at using vista but I've had just too many issues with some of my favorite apps and tools that I've decided it's not worth my time. Plus, I've been developing more and more server side *nix apps these days.

Well =i= thought that VM/CMS was wayyy better than MVS.
Same here. VM is simply an engineering marvel. It's the new old thing these days.

if you don't want it in marketing you make it behind closed doors, for internal use only. Otherwise you want it controlled and predictable.

I'd say this was quite predictable.

Well, it's not all that bloated when you strip it down to the bare minimum, but it does feel a bit heavy loaded on pre-'99 macs if installed as is. Most people used to XP won't even notice, given the amount of spyware and the overwrought GUI, but those who prefer faster minimalistic o/s's will see the difference. Though it is nice to be able to bring up the unix shell and do some things using scripts. I can't say much good about the Aqua interface. It may be pretty, but why do i need extra garbage when i'm already doing something CPU-intensive? The bright colors of the UI affect your color perception and the buttons themselves feel a bit out of place, having borrowed the same mistake that windows has stuck with since the days of '95. Mac o/s classic got it right, close on the left and collapse and hide on the right...keeps you from accidentally quitting out of something. You may not entirely agree with me, but then again it's only my personal opinion. Try working with only 64MB RAM instead of 1GB and you will see what i mean :) My PowerBook has 256MB and the iMac 128MB, which is still less, but isn't bad having replaced the drives with nice 7000rpm ones, since Photoshop mostly writes to the page file anyway...

Even better was AOS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOS/VS[^] with clean implementations of Multiprocessing - Multithreading, excellent CLI (command lang interpreter), IPC, language independent subroutine calling (aka .Net), excellent text editors, Adventure (when the bosses were not around) and even 2 column forefather of Norton commander! All this in 1979, shortly followed with the 32 bit version. No direct support for graphics, though, as was the norm then. But, the best thing was: the sources were available to the support organisations (on microfiche) : they were very well written, almost each line was commented and very understandable. (Assembly + DG/L [Algol like], as C was just getting in...)
