Why you should not touch Windows 6.x and Linux (2009)
Submitted by marcin on Sat 10 Oct 2009I’m using various operating systems for making some tasks. In this article I will show, that some solutions used in currently in the most popular or known (in my opinion) operating systems are obsolete. I hope that it will start some discussion here and there…
To be clear: I don’t think, that everything everywhere is wrong. But Windows environment seems to collapse after Windows XP and we still won’t have Linux too popular in desktops (because of some fundamental problems). Details are provided below.

I hope, that this page become popular and somebody from MS decide about eliminating some of described here issues in next Windows version.
Although for some users this system can be good and although author likes some new features inside, generally doesn't recommend this system now.

MS Windows (2007)
Submitted by marcin on Fri 23 Feb 2007These are my random thoughts about MS Windows for x86... IMHO, we can speak about few time periods:
--------------------
198x - Windows 1.x, 2.x
--------------------
1990 - Windows 3.0. First more widely accepted and used
1992 - Windows 3.1 (Janus). Only protected mode, new: True Type fonts
1993 - Windows 3.11. APM
Summary: 16-bit time. Microsoft cooperated with IBM and there was OS/2 created during this time. First tries of making graphic subsystem (there was DirectX from it created). There were first network releases (Windows for WorkGroups).
