MicroFRAUD
“Those Aren’t Microsoft Windows, Are They”
The answer is a resounding “No.”
Bill Gates was asked to develop an operating system for the I B M Personal Computer or “PC” for short. He had no real plan in place, so he licensed a ripped off version of the Disk Operating System from Seattle Computer Products. S C P ripped off the code & design from one Gary Kildall, the creator of the D O S System. Gates licensed the pirated version for $50,000 and brought their chief coder over to Microsoft.
IBM has an operating system called MS DOS. Gates kept the rights to it. Next, he had to make D O S as easy to use as the Apple II Computer, the LISA & the Macintosh. A 3rd Party Developer came up with the drop down columns & windows. The company , called Nisus Software, developed the Windows for D O S.
Nisus Software now creates a great word processing program for the Macintosh, both in OS X & Classic Platforms and has for almost 20 years.
Microsoft’s next big move was to create a Graphical User Interface for its’ Windows system, so they licensed parts of the Macintosh OS, by threatening to stop production of Microsoft Word for the Macintosh. Microsoft Engineers reverse-engineered Mac Code to create this ease of use fantasy.
There is a pattern here. Microsoft develops NOTHING. It’s always someone else’s work.
Their D O S Based Windows OS is unsteady. It’s junk. They only thing they have developed is a lust for cold cash.
They want to be the Enterprise System for Business. So they come up with a system called New Technology or N T for short. But when it was being developed, its’ code base was a bit over 30 years old. It was based on the system called Multics, a system so bad that A T & T had to develop a new system in 1969 called UNIX. Multics supported Virtual Memory Server or V M S. Multics once caused a downturn in the software industry & here was Microsoft trying to pass it off as New Technology and it is older than D O S. To give the new system, Windows N T that Windows Look, a Windows 95 shell was bolted onto the new system. N T 4.0 was rolled out in 1996.
Enterprises and Governments were encouraged to use this so called new system. But it was Windows & not noted for reliability. Do you see a propensity in regards to Microsoft and junk? They must be great snake oil salesmen.
N T 5.0 came out in 2000 with 63,000 defects. Microsoft managed to release bug fixes called Service Packs in order to fix any problems which might arise while using one’s computer.
They rushed out a next generation operating system, in October 2001, called N T 5.1 or Windows X P. All of their new features , including multiple users, came from Mac OS 9, in 1999. Even some of the icons looked like Mac OS 9 icons. The system has about 40,000,000 lines of code. With processors of 2.0 G hz & RAM of 1.5 G B, the system is excruciatingly slow.
But you see, Microsoft slaps code on top of code & it’s all a mishmash of over coded bloat. UNIX operates with just over 1,000,000 lines of code. They have to add features which almost no one would even think of using. It’s like the dolts in Yankee Stadium, who used to stack up beer cups until they fell down into another stadium level. Nothing is sturdy. It’s like constantly building a new roof over an older one & a nother one & another one, but there’s no real foundation. A heavy snow comes & the roof collapses.
Windows Vista will be the bane of Microsoft. 512 M B of RAM cannot handle it. It would need about 5 G B of RAM to run with some comfort.
Linux, a UNIX kernel is a great bet, as is UNIX-Based Mac OS X, as both are stable. Windows, I believe, is at the breaking point. Maybe it’s time for Microsoft to make a product which sucks, which will leave people cheering.
It’s called a vacuum cleaner.
Mets Win & Red Sox Win-’86 Redux is next.
