Windows was ok. Oh, sorry, Windows 3.x. One reason I dispise Window (post
3.x) is the incredibly stupid design decision to put the GUI into ring 0.
Something goes wrong with the GUI, you're toast. Win 3.x, *Nix (including
OS X), oh, well, restart the GUI. And because it's all in there, lessee, I
just read the other week that an average laptop these days has the
processing power of a mid-nineties Cray supercomputer... and they run like
an 8088 (ok, maybe an 80286), just for all the eye candy: style, not
content.
