Come on. I think these statements indicts you as the clueless one on computer operating systems. Uh huh. To paraphrase that guy, Clueless is as clueless does. I've posted on "what an OS is" before. When I went into it at length, at least one true blue Microphile was impressed. I've also poked fun, as usual, at the various Microsoftese definitions presented here. As in, the thing that retrieves information, or (what else but) a set of api's, or the ever popular "whatever Microsoft says it is." Like Thure said, it isn't that hard, if you have a small mind afflicted by the famous hobgoblin. If you're one of the large minded lovers of Bill, it is indeed quite difficult to define. The last definition above is the preferred one, of course. Cheers, Dan.
