I didn't want to say, windows was the first OS to handle more than
640KBytes memory. There were a lot of other OS's, that could do
so. But windows was the first one accepted by the masses.

Blame the masses for not accepting the other ones, thats what I would
like to do.

And I never wrote, UNIX is roboust, because it can handle lots of
memory. I said, it is over 25 years old, and so a lot of work has gone
into UNIX. The new OS'es, that should replace MS/DOS, are far from being
that long worked on. The permanent use of UNIX for over 25 years made
it so stable. And the fact, that the developpers used it
themselfes. They didn't accept any serios weakness instability.
And they never accepted the demand, that every application written for
it, no matter how bad it is programmed, should be able to run ad
infinitum.
