There is No Spoon: An Operating System Rant

Link: Brownian Musings: Operating Systems never did exist, and the ones we have are doomed....

This is one of my very favorite rants. And it is one that generally has traction with people that just want to use computers, and has no traction with people that have been sucked into the way we build and define software.

I am not saying we don’t bundle up software and call that software an Operating System.

I am saying what we call an Operating System is nothing more than discription given to a bundle of software.
