Dual core, Quad core??

You know, you try your hardest to stay as as impartial as possible and look what happens.

Well in one instance i see no evidence that it has changed and in the other i see adaptation. I'm not talking ancient history, the flawed foundation is clearly still there. If it wasn't, the likes of viruses wouldn't be as rampant as they are now.

You are wrong in both respects (I can only assume you must be blind and historically ignorant as NT is not Windows 9x or a variant of it and was developed primarily by DEC's Dave Cutler as a serious competitor to UNIX and was based more on DEC's VMS and aspects of MS's co-op with IBM) ... I don't see this going well so let's just agree to disagree (I will continue it if you wish).

Kyu

Im just saying what I see. I know they rewrote most of the system for NT, this being a good thing though a more competent developer would probably have made the system a tad more modular so the entire system didn't come crashing down when something as minor as the GUI crashed. I may have been wrong about the problems origin, and I openly admit that was speculation on my part. However, if I was wrong about that then im affraid I dont understand.
How did the problems get there? how come when I logged into my family's vista computer, N amount of viruses started with me. If i proper user permissions layer was implemented it wouldn't have been possible for my siblings to set the computer (accidentally or otherwise) to do that. It certainly wasn't my doing, I don't use that computer very often.
