Take that back!

DOS 3.3 had Edlin!

And if you subscribe to the theory that the simpler something is to use, the less functionality it had... Well Edlin was the most usefull editor EVER!!!

You kids and your fancy electrons!

>people are willing to be altruistic because the protocol rewards them for it.

just a nitpick - that's not altruism.

how does this reward work? ATM I'm downloading at 4KiB/s and up at 30KiB/s, generally I upload twice as much as I download. where's my "reward"?

Check out the future Longhorn :) I bet you will get an entire new understanding of the "bloat" concept... And don't tell me you'd rather download emacs, openoffice, kde (or gnome) and everything else, just because you want it all on one cd... (BTW, checkout Slackware 9.1, it's very nice distro on one cd...)

You know in my day DOS3.3 still fit on one 1.44 floppy!

Well in my day, DOS 1.1 fit on one 160k floppy. We didn't need no fancy schmancy hard drives or directories. We only had one directory and everything fit in it. AND WE LIKED IT THAT WAY!

BS

how can you upgrade to something that hasn't been released yet (remember, release date is in two days -- the 18th)?
