Let them say coroful things about it.. they're right. It sucks, it doesn't do nearly enough, it offers apps ALMOST no support. Because it's always there giving them at least a common framework for communication with the machine, it's a real OS. Sorry to disappoint you. Just thank God you didn't have to live through DOS.
