Maybe you did.

And no, I don't like Vista. I agree Win 7 is better than
Vista, but there are way too many security holes in Win 7 to make it an
OS
for daily use, at least till one gets in there and reworks the registry
and
a few other points of interest. I'm sad to say that XP will be kicking
Win
7's ass in the security department for a while.

We will see once the masses get their hands on it, but out of the box I
would say that an out-of-the-box Windows-7 was actually more secure than
an out-of-the-box XP, and certainly quite certainly for daily use
(behind the typical home router). I accept your requirements may
differ.

Cheers,
David

The editing went a little wrong there!

If you want to believe that an OS can be MacOS AND UNIX,
mac os is on top of unix.
No it isn't.
no?

No.

then what is it?

The kernel is Mach. The file system is Apple's.

you might want to let apple know, since they think
os x is built on top of unix.

No they don't.

Yes they do:

Because it uses a lot of code that comes from BSD Unix.

Do you know much of anything about operating systems?
