Where the FUCK is the option for DOS?

C:/DOS

C:/DOS/RUN

RUN/DOS/RUN

Seriously, I played Dark Forces, F-117A Stealth Fighter, and Chuck Yeager's Flight Sim on DOS. DOS kicked ass.

Then there was WinBlows ME. I use XP and like it, but ME blows. COMPLETELY. WE CHANGED TO PIRATED XP THREE WEEKS BEFORE XP'S OFFICIAL RELEASE BECAUSE ME COMPLETELY CRASHED ON US. NONE OF MICROSOFT'S RECOVERY TOOLS WORKED!

So we should go back to the days of DOS. No graphical shit. Just white letters on black.

EDIT: I'm serious. I want a version of DOS that works with Windows programs, and not Command Prompt.

Macs Suck, linux is nice and i would most likely use it if i could do everything with it as well or better than i can with windows.

All i can say is windows(recent incarnations, ME is the worst of all OS's) is a decent OS that is for me stable, and not that hard to figure out.

But a totaly windows compatable Linux would pwn all (if it performes at the same level)

aztech is right ME was about 35 hundered steps back from 98/95

Linuix is too much of a bitch to learn and use. You have to run like 6 different Command line interface things in order to play a movie and god I hate RPM's.

My friends think they are rebellious and shit because they put Linux on their laptops.

Me: "Congratulations! You just spent 2 days coding what XP did for me (detect network settings) in three seconds!"

If it makes you feel any better, do it, but shut up, you aren't an anarchist for using Linux.

Let's get something clear about the virus situation. Linux and Unix have security holes, just like Windows does. However, Windows is more popular, therefore the virus-writers focus their efforts on it so they can get more bang for their buck. If Linux were the dominant market force, virus-writers would be just as focused and probably just as successful.

You would like linux. You have to do pretty much everything and anything through a command line interface.

That "Applies ot all versions" stuff is BS. The difference between WinME, and XP, Slackware, and Mandrake are NIGHT and FSCKING DAY.


That said, I use windows. I dont care for linux, as I prefer functionality over everything, and windows is the most efficient. Plus, being used in 90% of the world means that Im literate in the workplace.
