“@Zedo-P-Mann, sounds like this Minwin is supposed to be a micro-kernel running NT on top of it. Micro-kernels are supposed to be better than monolithic, kernels, but I've not seen a difference from the user or programmer prospective, I've run...”

“Most gamers are hardware literate because of their need for higher frame-rates. I've been into programming since the early 1980's, and have gotten into IBM PCs relatively late, being mostly a Commodore Geek. I know a lot of computer history,...”

“No, It may be great, that's super if it is. Microsoft could have won me over when I had a Windows 95 machine, I found that OS to be so unstable as to be useless. I started playing with a small Minix in a box app at about that time, found I really...”
