The Vandalisation of Windows
worker201:
Hmmmm. I suppose so. Yes, you can bottle up your computer, and enforce permissions, and all that. That might make Windows a bit more secure. But I don't think that makes it a good operating system. Plenty of reasons for this opinion, and it has more to do with modularity and process control and separation of OS and applications, none of which Windows does well. And let's not even get started on memory management, because it doesn't exist.
So yeah, you can take steps to make Windows better. But you can only go so far. And that's not a source issue, that's a system design issue. One more reason why Windows is not allowed to enter my home.

--- Quote from: Aloone_Jonez --- The sad thing is Windows has the potential to be a very good operating system (better than UNIX in many ways) but MS won't let this happen.

Not quite ... Winblow$ has serious design flaws ... there's not too much you can do make it better.
worker201:
But those design flaws are from a definitional standpoint. I agree with that guy's idea of what an operating system should be, and what it should not be. But maybe Aloone Jonez doesn't. So I won't overtly say that "Windows is a flawed design". It would be more appropriate to say that "Windows is incapable of meeting my expectations for an operating system". Both have the same result.

Windows isnt going to get better util there is a viable alternative to M$. Competition breed innovation.

That's just what the capitalist technocratic whores want you to believe. Giving smart people lots of money to do cool stuff without marketing or boss pressure is truly what breeds innovation. Which is why guys programming in their spare time are revolutionizing the computer industry, while the corporate marketing companies like Microsoft get slammed.
