Most 21st century (even many 20th century) operating systems have
things called user permissions, file system permissions, ACLs and
much more, to just mention a few.
I won't even dignify this...especially to the kid who thinks
Windows machines process financial transactions. ;) I mean that doesn't make it /GOOD/ for
financial transactions...I'd
prefer DOS or VMS handle financial transactions. ;)
So, what DOS machine would handle processing, say, a few hundreds of
millions of transactions during a twenty-hour batch window? ;)
