But a little more BCBG than MSDOS perhaps...? well the first time i heard somebody telling the "truth"!!!! win95 :yes -win95 is a MS$ apps (wich is not a reference) -it is a copy of the mac system (wich is already a copy of things from PARC (paolo alto center research)) Too much people believe that apple are philantropic, NO! it is a commercial and the goal for the is to make money as MS$ ... macos:yes -not stable (the guy at the labs named me the man who made 15 reboot by hour !!!) -no multitasking (even with threads) -a filesystem that come from paleolitic ages ! And about the BCBG of msdos: try to copy a file from far away in a volume of a server, to far away in an another volume: you open window in a new window and so on or you wait for system to browse folder. In msdos, you just say copy full_path full_path ???? Wich one is more productive ???? Too much admin system says Mac: beuark!, I used in the past to say it too, but now as i use the mac try to programm with it (thanks to macperl), and i said too much pb to have a big net with mac... If somebody want to reply : please don t use the list as i do! reply to me, if it there are good point (i mean technical points for and against and even critics about what i ve say ) i will compile it and send to the list. I m not hopping the death of macos, and the suppremacy of MS$ prod I m just hopping that MacOs will become better and a real concurrent to win95 Because 2 point of view(and 2 system) are always better than just one ! Matthias, I apologize for this noise on the list.
