It is time other operating system makers should throw in the towel and
stop wasting people's time with their mickey mouse operating system.
they should all start buying Windows 7 before Christmas so that the new
year would be better for them.

Windows 7 -- or any other operating system -- isn't going to change
anyone's destiny or make next year "better".

AH, but it would make a better year for MS. Pity - win 1.0 was not good
for anything - there are those who would argue win 7 is not much better!

That would be the same people that think the world is flat and Linux will
take over the world some day.

No OS will take over the world, dumb ****. Now crawl back into your hole
before you embarrass yourself even more.

Too bad all the above is a lie but, hey, it's your post. Get used
to
Linux discussions here. If you want MS only, go to their groovy web
based forums but behave yourself!

All they did was choke your kind out and restored sanity. You just
brought your insanity here.

Windows 1.0 was not an operating system, it was a DOS application.

The first MS Windows that could qualify as an OS was 95.

Windows 3.0 and 3.1 were needed to run some programs but you still needed
to boot to DOS first.

I completely disagree. The idea that an operating system can not run
under another operating system is false.

Even on mainframes, there are operating systems that run under other
operating systems.

True, but that doesn't mean that they were not operating systems.

For example, read the definition of an operating system he
http://foldoc.org/operating+system

Note that it says "The low-level software which handles the interface
to peripheral hardware, schedules tasks, allocates storage, and
presents a default interface to the user when no application program
is running." *All* versions of Windows qualify.
