I'd prefer to multi-task in 4 or 8 megs of physical memory.
Too bad your big bad overhyped OS's cant do that.
User machines should be designed around the user, not OS
paradigms that are more appropirate for systems that actually
resemble those where the paradigms were developed. (ie
most clones dont have the hardware concurrency to support
bloated overblown monolithic OS's)
