Window's takes a lot of bashing but one thing it did that no other OS manufacturer has ever been able to do is make a GUI that the average Non-geek can use. WRONG!!!! windows 95, first gui M$ offered, directly stolen from apple, the original MAC interface win3.1 and 3.11 wrer text boxes over dos, not a gui. alleycat, don't forget two small points, mac os has always been unix based, and osx is a variation of linux.
