It is true that the first cpu was found in an alien spaceship? :)

Yes, and I would like it back as soon as possible.

:) Not sure but looking at windows, walking on my PC (as oposed to
running), and the insanely redicolous new versions of Visual Studio, that
took me 4 days to get to the point where it could start to install, (had
to upgrade the OS, patch, reformat the harddrive structure ...ect...
whereas it crashed during the install fase, I say that yes, it seems some
alien created the CPUs and some MVP was in charge of the OS creations.

From this day on, every Visual Studio user shall be known to me as a sub
80 IQ UTTERLY FLAT IDIOT.

Its incredible funny to watch theese C programmers even dearing to speak
in a asm ng, when their flagsships (Windows, Linux, Visual Studio) are
nothing but a full fledged demonstration to the complete and utter
uselessness of C.

Actually these days most of the MS software are written in C++ or C#.
Soon, they'll be using .NET/CLI too. C is still used only in the core
parts of the OS itself.

Also it's not the language at fault but rather the
programmers/corporation which, in it's battle against exponentially
increasing complexity of it's software, is using yet more complexity to
combat it. It is the outcome of a program created by a large team of
programmers, (a few hundred probably), all coming and going over the
years, and all told and taught to use abstraction upon abstraction.

The present result is that a simple programming IDE now requires 256 Mb
of RAM to run acceptably well.

It's the programming methodology at fault and unfortunately, due to
many circumstances, there is no getting out of it. MS produces software
in the way it knows. If it's unacceptable, one's always free to code a
fast, lean, open-source counterpart.

It's easy to write fast, lean software. The real difficulty is to
*keep* it fast and lean in spite of possibly hundereds of programmers
participating and years of development for new features and so on.

I was ranting, but seriously I allways thought C++ and C# are more or less
derivatives ( Integrals :) ) of/on c. Looking at c++ code, it looks to me
very similar to c.

After having used RosAsm for 2 years, and fast programs written in asm, it
is a real shocking experience to download some of the new creations. And
Herbert is actually recommending us to use theese products.... ????

Oh, well, after 4 tries at installing Visual Studio, for a quick look, I
just figured, enough time wasted, lets reformat&reinstall a less bloated
Os, and hope ReactOs will not go down this same route.

What is it that you gain from using theese tools? ...Anyone?

Yes, in theory. But programming asm in RosAsm under windows, is a walk in
park compared to creating an OS.

I guess. But why is it that we see so many incredible nice games for
instance, but no rocking OSes?
Maybe they should make the game programmers create the oses ? Why not?
Theese days games are the major dessision when choosing an Os, for
endusers anyway.
