IMO, we've been going backward since the first version of windows was released. DOS code was and still is an efficient coding system. Gates had to build a OS for all the people that wouldn't read docs. Seriously, I worked in networking with DOS and it was practically impossible to get people to read a book or document to learn anything. It should also be mentioned that personal users were totally turned off by the complications of anything so difficult they had to study and read to learn enough to use a computer. It was terrible supporting DOS networks for sure.

We would never have had the interest today in computers, if ole Bill hadn't created the Windows workaround OS for dumb butts.

So, Gates created a monstrous hog OS that persists to date.

The funny part is, the old DOS commands are still being used in all sorts of background tasking. We used to laugh at the idea of windows... going around the world to get to the next town.
