Well, I do.

It's amazing how many people say the same thing as you about 'any' software development. Over my 21 years of experience, when I had to change operating system before (MVS, CMS, VMS, and Unix) , it was always obvious the new system was easier to develop AND support software on . All of this time the PC and Microsoft either didn't exist or was not much use for anything except putting together a presentation.

Now some people say Windows is best. I have reallllly tried to work on Windows NT (best version I hear before W2K).

It sucks. Period. It's like going backwards . Piece of crap can't even keep running for long . This on top of the stupid environment . And, Microsoft keeps throwing everything except the kitchen sink into the operating system. It's so bloated , every time a new Intel chip comes out, Windows consumes almost all the new power.

I suppose those Windows lovers don't miss what they never had ... a superior operating system like Unix. Received on Sat Jun 01 2002 - 20:22:40 CEST
