Mac OS 9 is very similar to Windows 3.1 -- no memory protection,
co-operative multitasking, limited file structures, poor networking,
one-app's-bug-brings-it-all-down, etc.
Mac OS X is a fork of FreeBSD, a modern UNIX with hardware memory
management and protection, preemptive multitasking, complex file systems
and structures, a roburst netowkring API (BSD sockets), etc.
So you are saying that FreeBSD isn't much of an improvement over Windows
3.1?
In terms of function and design, that is.
