Bob, lamenting the continued bloated nature of Windows OS, writes:
Personally I think they should clean house on the OS side, put the development tools in maintenance mode for a couple of years, and put Scott Guthrie and the rest of those geniuses behind Visual Studio to work on building a new OS from scratch.
This is something I’ve been saying for years. Windows needs to be rewritten from scratch. Start over, and let the guiding principal be: Simple Is Better.
Windows has become so big and bloated that it can’t do the basics anymore. I mean, really – what do you need your OS to do? I know what I want my OS to do: run my apps. That’s it; it’s that simple. Manage my files, memory and processes so I can run my apps. And even Windows can’t get that right.
Have you tried working with Explorer lately? Copying large files? Over a network? When was the last time you tried to kill a process in Windows? Guess what? It’s still easier and more reliable to kill a process in Unix/Linux than it is in Windows. Why is that?
As Riply said, “I say we take off, and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
