Everytime, Windows and *NIX , Windows and *NIX.
I'm feeling quite bored already.
I hope somebody will start an open source project to develop a new OS for the Intel platform. Just for fun.
Operating systems are too huge of a project, but what would be more interesting is to build artificial intelligence agents that are capable of writing code. Than get them to write operating systems for you. They would be able to write code much faster than humans and a project like an operating system would than suddenly be much less impossible.
Originally posted by neenee well... there was beos, which you can still run... and
you can try qnx, solaris, bsd, and many others. there's
even a version of macos for x86.
Nope. beos is designed for multimedia.
And qnx is real-time OS, not general purpose, and it is POXIS. That means it is also *NIX.
Solaris and bsd are also *NIX.
That's why I feel bored.

Yeah that would be interesting. But when these AI agents come, I'd lost my job already.
And the world would be so boring coz we no longer need to write programs. I think this is the suicide idea.

? beos might be designed to work very well with
multimedia and incorporate multi-threading, but
that does not mean it is not an alternate os; there
are more than just multimedia applications for it.

The reason you hear "Nix vs win" all the time is probably because you are using a *nix or win platform OS. However if you were running os/2 or something else, and spent time on an os/2 board, well then you'd hear a lot more "os/2 vs *nix/win" or whatever.
