What kind of drugs are you taking? Have you ever heard of OSX? It's completely different from OS9 and earlier, based on UNIX instead of Apple's older custom code. Not to mention, compared to Windows, Mac OS has always been more stable and user-friendly, IMO. But even if you disagree with that, you can't disagree with my first statement because it's true. Also, if all operating systems suck, how do you use your computer? There must be one OS good enough that you feel it is good enough for your high and mighty standards, or else you couldn't be here.

there's a difference between an operating systems being bad or sucky and being unusable, though

Gates didn't make DOS he bought it off of someone. Gates didn't even finish college.

CowboyX you smoking something? Are you stupid? Linux or OSX is the best OS, windows sucks exept its the only platform that people deveolope for (game-wise), so Id treat it as a crappy gaming OS. Linux or OSX completly obliviate windows when it comes to security, durability, etc. Im sorry to tell you, but windows readdy sucks. And besides. Maybe you should do some research before you call people idiots. :roll:

windows has crappy quality and just about everything about it sucks except it is compatible with the most software and games so it is the best.

DOS is nothing but a rip-off of CP/M.

Bill Gates only stole DOS, like he stole GUIs and the taskbar.

he stole those ideas from apple, who in turn had licensed them (or something similar) from xerox right? And are you saying he stole dr-dos or easy-dos? If he did, he is a really bad coder, as both of those are far better (even at version 1) than the original versions of dos (1,2)

edit: or was it pc-dos? that's the one ibm does.
