Windows 7 was released on October 22, 2009. That is approaching ~2 years ago. For someone who is in technology, were you marooned on a South Pacific Island with a volleyball for a while or something?

That is, the system will process whatever before delivering output to the user. And that damn 'spinning beachball' from hell. The previous systems were completely 'user concerned', i.e., the user input preempted all but the absolutely necessary system processes.
That's a rather fuzzy, kind hearted memory of the pains of cooperative multitasking that predominated before OSX. You know, where a single application could freeze the entire computer?

Has Windoze 7 gone to a UNIX kernal?
Ok, now I'm starting to question your credibility, as you've asked if Microsoft has abandoned NT for a Unix kernel while bitching the OSX (which runs on Mach/FreeBSD (a unix kernel)) is becoming more like Windows.
Your complaints as well regarding the 'spinning beach ball' seems to ignore that were OSX to use cooperative multitasking like pre-OSX, your entire system would've froze.
Perhaps you're just unhappy with the complexity of modern operating systems. Period.
