[Archduke Tips]

Operating systems are an inconvenient way to make a user interface. Embedded systems are far superior, but people are too comfortable using operating systems now to make the switch.

Nobody really wants to interact with the operating system... they just want to run their applications and they have to go through the OS as an inconvenience.

All the main stream operating systems suck (Mac, Windows, Linux) because they are all taking the approach that more is better. I'd rather them scale it down and get the operating system out of my resources as much as possible.

I use windows though because I do a lot of CAD work and those tools aren't available on a Mac. Also, I regularly use Hyperterminal and it is standard with windows.
