  1. My take, not that anyone will read it, but I still wish a new OS would crop up that combined the best aspects of both Windows and Linux. If someone were to read this I'm sure they'd disagree, but I think a lot of the original API design choices that Microsoft made were actually closer to good than Linux is even now. Even with source code in hand, I'd prefer that everything wasn't fully exposed to running programs. And I think the idea of having the GUI components implemented as part of the base OS API is a way better design, for so many reasons. However, some of the design choices of Linux were definitely better than Windows. Chief amongst those being the kernel separated from the majority of running components which allows the GUI to crash and not kill the whole OS. For that matter, I'm sure someone would want to remind me that Linux isn't an OS, but a kernel, and I'd say that's an irrelevant point because I want more of a base than just a kernel provides. And finally, if I ever get free time I may have to write it myself because surely no one else would.

  2. I hope you're joking and you don't actually believe that tripe. C has always been faster than BASIC in every way. Unless you're embedding assembly in your code, which wouldn't be BASIC or C, then there is zero chance that could ever be true, then or now.

  4. All issues would be solved with message passing? While I would agree that some would, certainly not all, and yeah it definitely should be faster.

  5.  @DJDocsVideos  The GUI definitely is part of the core of Windows, and even though it's separate from the kernel it still takes down the whole system if it crashes. And I wouldn't say Microsoft is stupid, evil yes, bad at implementing things, sure, but not stupid.
