WinXP over Linux

which means the guy was right - it is based on nt. obviously we know he has lost the plot, but he was factually correct ;P
"When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."
The problem is that all operating systems can be boiled down to the "DOS" and the UI. Even DOS had a UI program, command.com. He got a fair amount of things right. How he got there was totally wrong. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Well, it's now official: My memory sucks :) "You can stand all night at a redlight anywhere in town, hailing Marys left and right but none of them slow down. I've seen the best of men go past. I don't wanna be the last..."
Don't worry - I'm nineteen and I get that feeling daily. ;P

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002Christian Graus wrote: What is it then ? A Fisher Price experiment... :rolleyes: * Our local Linux devotee calls it that. I like XP.

Interesting read (or what happens when people write about what *they* think they understand) http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20030116.html[^] At first it sounded like the guy knows something, but this broke all his credibility: "Even today, you can still get to a C: prompt under Windows XP, which means a disk operating system is hiding there no matter what Microsoft wants us to believe.
