Ron:
Didn't I hear somewhere on this site a few years ago that M$ used only 2 M$ servers, the rest were all unix? If that were true, would that not show BG's 'faith' in the excellence of his own "Product"?
And check out this M$ support page : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-gb;835826
Especially the bits about uninstalling stuff & how windows is shit for removing things. And how M$ recommend other products to carry out the jobs they admit their own software can't do (I'd ask for a refund if this wasn't a cracked copy of Win3.2 that I stole)

But how long will you need it?
Only a few MS apps are usable.(without even being good)
GNU needs their own simular(and much better) apps.
Not those bad written MS ones.

ReactOS is already on it's way for windows replacement. Since Unix was a happy-go-lucky SOB and Windows came along and violently shook the standards, dividing two main filesystem operators (/dev/null and C:\DOS\RUN). Now we have Linux and Windows using up the desktop sharehold. I'm not sure how Mac's filestructure goes, same with OS/2 and Amiga, but I think Mac would go in the Unix-similar and OS/2 in the DOS-similar, not sure about Amiga.

I think ReactOS is only a temporary solution to pry people from Windows until they can get Linux as a replacement. Since today's and yesterday's (roughly 89-present) computer games are built on the C:\whatever filestructure, tomorrow's "classic" games will need virtual computers or emulators to actually work.

Microsoft is mainly evil for reinventing the standards.

hm_murdock:
Amiga? try its own way. I think it used to denote things the same was as Classic Mac OS

Folder:Subfolder bject

OS X works just like the STEPS...

Folder/Subfolder/Object

I meant doesn't it have /etc/bin instead of C:\ ? I would think so.

AppleRules:
Windows 2000 was the most stable OS that Microsoft has ever made. Since then, it has gone downhill. I have Windows XP (Home Edition, which makes it all the worse), and I actually feel nostalgic for Windows 2000, which is really sad, because Windows in general is terrible. The security loopholes, the interminable list of bugs, the incompatibilty issues, and, of course, the constant updating needed for it to run without crashing every five minutes. I just hope that someday I'll have the money to get a Mac and never look back. The only thing I'm worrying about is whether the Mac that I might hypothetically get in the far, far future (because at the moment I don't have the money for it; they're pretty expensive) will be compatible with my wireless network, which is using a *Microsoft* wireless router. You can really see the difference between Microsoft's OS and Apple's by looking at their respective websites. Apple's is just better; it just works.
