I said "like CP/M". I didn't mean CP/M.
I wish for a totally newly

built in and is multi-tasking and multi-user and whose specs are freely
distributed and is covereld .
You mean, oh, something perhaps like...LINUX!?
Cold hard fact: Linux will never defeat Windows (in
the consumer market)
because the average non-computer person is intimidated by it and it's too
complex for them. Who ever dominates the consumer market, dominates the
industry because of the sheer numbers. Linux will always be splintered
(various distributions, various desktops and various setups) because it's
open.
POPPY-COCK! You must forget what you knew in 1996 and move forward in
time. Much has changed since then.
