Now let me rant on about some basic facts like false advertising
Well folks, WinDOS bands do not and have not in any way emulated
In fact, if you used WIN95 as a server, it would crash itself
starting with the very first WinDOS 95 OS
It was supposed to be emulate a UNIX environment
multi-user, multi-tasking OS
with with windows included.
a true unix shell type envirnoment.
After consderable reverse engineering using SoftIce, i can only
one thing, WinDOS ain't real multi-user / multi-tasking!
It just don't compare to the UNIX kernel and Shell.
after a few hours, simply due to its own memory self destruction.
Without some other third party MMU ( memory management control )
many programs still don't work on Win95 internal Memory Management.
*
While in some running application:
Try if you still have as i, winDOS95 ( untill they finally fix it,
i'm not going to buy another Micro$lop product thankx, i'll stick
with LINUX for now) to stop and kill the KERNEL running process,
by hitting ALT+CTRL+DEL and end task on explorer and clicking on
NO for shutdown computer. Wait for a few seconds till WinDOS wakes
up, and click on 'end task' when the window pops up.
Now if you stay in your application, nothing ever changes or takes
place. ie. In fact nothing at all will happen untill you move the
mouse button! Further, unless you move your cursor into or over
the Windos main screen or screen area, once again NOTHING Happens!
In order for the TASK Explorer to actually end, one MUST move the
cursor away from the application you're running area of the window
( over the MS windows screen on the edge of your running applic. ),
you'll see the windows disk drive lite come on and the OS cleaning
up taking place (ie. Windows Cache flush etc. ie. WIN386.SWP file
cache is somewhat cleaned up ). Now try to exit to DOS before the
cleanup actually happens and you'll lock-up the system while this
is going on. The only solution seems to be to EXIT DOS all together!
The only application that seems to be able to check for cursor
movement for WinDOS is 'OPERA'. In opera, we can do what was
just mentioned above without having to move the cursor over the
actual WINDOS part of the screen to get windows to start cleaning
up the memory buffer after we click on 'End Task'.
On another note: Netscape Navigator Gold 3.xx had serious problems
when attempting to erase TRASH files completely when Netscape asks
"At least one of your email folders is taking up a lot [size] of
disk space! If you compress folders now you can recover [xxxx] of
disk space."
"Compressing folders might take a while."
"Do you want to compress folders now?"
A while maybe but not all day and it still doesn't get done!
When one responds yes, very often it was necessary to move the
cursor around on the screen to get the damn Windows to continue
and complete the file erasure / compression.
In fact if one stops moving the cursor around the screen the
erasure / compression stops as well.
To me in a nutshell, Windows 95 never worked properly as an OS
and in fact waisted more of peoples time than it saved. That
doesn't even take into account the headaches and frustration it
caused people who wrestled with it on a daily basis.
To my mind ( and i've written OS and applications systems
software for a good period of time ) any operating system that
relies on the movement of the cursor to update main important
system tasks like clearing cache memory and buffers is NOT a
operating system.
We used to rely on keyboard keystroke touch to update video
buffers but not the whole system OS with the MICOM word
processor and data processor that i worked on well before the
bloody Micro$lop O??S?? came along and i'll tell yea, it worked
10x better 10 years before.
I believe a class action lawsuit against Micro$lop is still a
valid legal possibility on the legal grounds that for all intents
and purposes, the product never worked properly in the first
place. If you owned a car that had that many problems and
inconsistancies like that, it would have been recalled and
rebuilt from scratch. Probably discontinued with your money
back!
Ever get the "Internal Error Message" and click on ok
and then the second message comes up "Exit program"?
Well you can easily escape this all too common memory breakdown
error in WinDOS95 by simply clicking on OK for the first error
message, and after that for the second error behind the first
"There was an Internal error" DO NOT click on OK,
rather hit ALT+CTRL+DEL and click on "Explorer"
and end task, then wait a few seconds and
click on NO for Shutdown Computer!
Anyway, enough memory should have been recovered to save you
from loosing your application you're running and allow you to
finish up what you were just working on at the time of the
memory meltdown.
That was Just another trick i learned while struggling with
WinDOS95! NOT because i liked anything about the darn OS, it's
more like you have to have something to run all those
applications that were written in the 90's and REQUIRE Windows
to run!
I've never seen a OS that runs a application that was designed
by the same people who wrote the OS that has memory management
problems as bad as NotePad. One minute you save a page.txt and
a half hour later you try to load the page again into NotePad
and the OS tells you that the page is too big to fit into memory
( do you want to run wordpad instead? ).
What Bullshit! i still cannot believe this shit actually happens!
It's just that WinDos thinks the file is bigger than it is, ie.
it gets incorrect memory allocation values via C's internal memory
allocation command "malloc".
Let's face it, wordpad is a technological joke! Try using wordwrap
after you have a document already loaded that is not word-wrapped.
Our company used to exist 10 years before Micro$lop even existed,
and let me tell you, when we word wrapped a document, IT
WORDWRAPPED.
More on WinDOS BANDS and other matters that continue to support
my conviction that Micro$lop and Gates bullshitted his way to
riches with a OS that still is full of $hit, and counts on
hapless consumers to fix their problems on the consumers, OS
utilizers and systems administrators timecard / time clock.
If one stretches forgivness, one could have tolerated this in
the very first year of MSlops existance, but 10 years later?
cum - on!
I'd like to send bill an upgrade that cleans out his bank
account to get even for the amount of times i've upgraded and
have ended up with only more frustration, virus attacks -
system breakins, crashes and on and on and on.
I believe that had the US justice department early on stopped
the monopolistic - meglomainiactic activities of the corporation,
we would have had real competition, ( many more people earning
monies instead of one person and some people in one corporation
earning it all ) much better products, hardly as many viruses
since it would be difficult if not senseless for people working
in many software companies spending their now non-existant idle
time producing viruses and the like!
Its the people layed off and fired from Micro$lop and many
other companies, who in the end make malicious software or show
their kids how to find weak spots in the OS that leads to the
proliferation and constant proliphic production of new or
revised viruses, trojans, and other malicious software.
As with governments that are now being sued for people who
have lost their entire life savings by playing the govenment
run BLTs and Casinos, and large food chains being blamed and
sued for making people obese, it's now time for M$ to be sued
for the extraordinary waist of peoples private precious time
they have stolen, the jobs they have obscured or destroyed
due to their monopolistic dictatorial style of operation.
i can compare Micro$lop corp. to Hitlers Germany and his
grandious plans of monopolizing the entire world!
At times people too must realize, that cheaper is not always
better, and when you add in the hours you waist upgrading
WindDOS and fighting off all those trojans etc. we can
soon realise that we would be better off having as we do
buying anything else in the world, a CHOICE!
Some Hidden/unknown secrets of WinDOS win95
A undocumented feature of IE (unless you actually read the
docs I mean, but who does that...
not me that's for sure, honest! I had to be told about this by
some non-techie type person. That and the fact that
WindowsKey-e starts the file explorer... who knew...)
If you shift-refresh it forces the data over your existing cached
page -- a refresh alone merely compares timestamps of the file on
the server and the one in your cache, if they're the same it just
loads what's in your cache (even if the file sizes are different,
i.e. a corrupt cached file).

General Moters vs Micro$lop *Received this article in my email, just want to share with you all this interesting article.* For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part): For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying. . . . . . REad mOre anologies bill Gates and . . . . . Microsoft vs the bricks and morter . . . . . world! see More of this spoof on microsoft!English and German variants of the Sober virus are once again tracking across the Internet... Consumer Watch: Avoiding the Upgrade From Hell How to have the latest software without experiencing installation disasters. We've all heard the horror stories. Consider version 5 of the popular Easy CD Creator software from Adaptec spin-off Roxio. Some unsuspecting customers who recently installed the update on Windows 2000 systems found themselves either stuck in limbo during boot-up or staring helplessly into the blue screen of death. At press time, the company had released a patch to prevent the blue screen crashes but was still grappling with the superslow boot-ups. Jobs takes jabs at Longhorn Steve Jobs took another pop at Microsoft and Longhorn, its long-awaited successor to Windows XP, at Apple's AGM yesterday. ' They are shamelessly copying us,' he said, before adding that, 'They can't even copy fast.' Honestly, i'm tired of writing about Micro$lop FU's and feel my time is better spent litigating where it might, just might make a difference. - - - - - - - - - - - - Bill-gates-notes on how he has helped in the demise of the World! 1) He never braught multi-user / multi-tasking anything near what Unix ever was or is! In fact, all winDOS does is iconize a mess so people know where to click to hopefully get what they want. Not progress it's called regression to the way simple minds work who do not understand what's going on but who can after being shown, remember the steps ( clicks of the mouse ) to repeat the procedure. Ecentually turning the world into a bunch of point and click dummies as though that has anything to do with the way the world actually is. 2) He screwed up and made America and the rest of the world less productive in the fact that he never improved on the very basic word-processor in the manner in-which he released MSIE web building packages as: None of those software programs allow for natural multi columnization, natural multi-column wordwrap back into the column you're building or updating. ie. The basic design of the OS did not facilitate easy design of applications that could make word processing and later Internet website information delivery any easier or more productive. In fact, the very nature in which the data is stored on disk by the OS, precludes any easy facilitation or delivery of such easy word or data processing capabilities as easy columnization or seperate grouping on the same or other page of a different data type or structure. In computer OS design there are many considerations one could take into account depending on how complex or on the hand simple one wants to make the DOS ( Disk operating system ). For example in a higher DOS type language, one could conserve disk space of columner information offset by xxxx character positions from the left or top side of the display or print area therefore having xxxx offset values intrinsicly built into the information or data structure stored itself, thereby making programming of its use so much easier. Yet, if these facilitators to data handling are not built into the DOS, the implementation of such robust features in the applications development languages is stiffled by definition. This of course by nature makes OS development much easier if all data types are stored the same way, but leaves much to be desired in the overall picture. Ideally, one should have sub data types and structures and inherent storage locations for the said type IDs. This may sound complicated, but not really since one could assign a POSTAL CODE type lookup table and disk access table to the data type structure and its said variables in disk position lookup table. It makes the OS ( operating System ) more complex, yet makes application programming development much easier. 3) From its very Basic Dos to Dos for Windows, he never implemented a proper WordProceesr or/and text handling ability as My original company could provide let alone other simple text editing features that actually work!
