Re: TI-H: This is for you robert
No, DOS is for people who only want to use applications and are not
concerned with development. DOS is much simplar to use than UNIX and
therfore is a better OS for the _masses_. However, looking at the matter
only on technology, yes, UNIX is superior. Once you get into the
graphical interfaces, then the point is even clearer...Microsoft's GUI is
_much_ simplar to use than UNIX's. I have not yet seen a GUI for UNIX
systems that I would think the common computer user would be comfortable
with. CDE, OWM, FVWM95, etc are all nice interfaces if all the software
you'll ever need is already there (meaning there's a sysadmin to set
everything up for you), but without that, the average computer user would
be lost.
