<An operating system used to be a well-defined thing: the code that handled communication between applications, like calculators and word processors, and the computer's devices--screen, keyboard, printers, memory, storage. Microsoft even agreed to define it this way in the 1994 agreement. But out here in the real world, it has turned the operating system into a giant Rube Goldberg contraption, with many interlocking parts, including more and more functions that used to be high-level applications sold by competitors.> Yeah, and the world used to be flat as well.
