Windoze is not so baaad

And XP, hmm.. I think this OS is reasonably safe with those patches, the guys from Redmond reacts well as new holes are discovered.

Samba can manage Active Directory and domains without the crashed that Windows NT/2000 has and is faster than Windows Server 2003 at it! Article.
Microsoft now releases a monthly update, leaving crackers with one month to take advantage of an exploit. And it's proven that crackers use MSDN to search for unpatched exploits so they may use them.

Actually, DOS was made by a hacker in the 80's, it was just stolen by Bill Gates and called MS DOS. Then it developed into Windoze.

I meant using it for a full OS (their is a free DOS clone).

Thank goodness xeen is here to tell us what we can and cannot say in the forums. I might not have known.

Maybe you should search this forum for "RTFM n00b!" because I don't hear it here. Also linuxquestions.com doesn't have that sort of stuff. Either way, MS is a big company with resources, don't you expect better from them?

Actually I quoted that because it the grammar made it sound so messed up. Practically didn't make his point.
quote:There ARE skilled windows programmers, and there are bad ones, same as ANY operating system.
--- End quote ---
I never said there weren't any. But since Windows is a monopoly, and open-source programmers are more idealistic about programming, there's probably more bad Windows ones.
quote:Maybe because the operating enviroment is DIFFERENT than that of Linux, *BSD, or MacOS, and uses a different API?
--- End quote ---
I'm talking about plain system calls. Normally you can re-use source code on other operating systems. But Windows relies on special things that don't conform to the agreed-upon standards.
quote:Don't blame the OS for a crap program running in the Background of hardware shitting out, which can cause this, I have had it happen to me before.

I get Notepad crashes if I don't reboot Windows after 12 days or so. Considering the fact that Notepad isn't a buggy program (so to speak), I think it's the OS. I get errors like that all the time.

DOS = CP/M, mostly, which dates back to 1978-79. So really, not only did BillyG steal it, but so did the company that he stole it from. :D

AHA! So according to that statement you believe it's true since the Linux servers dominate,and you don't believe about Linux on the desktop because it's not as dominant. Dominance does not determine if a something is good or bad. Can you understand that?
By the way, for your information, DukePuke, I use Windows 2000 too. It's the best of all Windows, but I'm still the first to admit that even though I use it it's shit.
