No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:

1.They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.

2.Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - okay, Windows does that.

3.Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does that too.

4.Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. - Sigh.. Windows does that, too.

5.Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. - Yup, Windows does that, too.

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.

So Windows is not a virus.

It's a bug.

LOL :lol: That, was funny!

But true.

I have managed to get my own kernel running but all it does is load a basic command line were you can shutdown the machine or restart it.

lol, that's more success than me than. I never even got mine to run

Ill get a copy to you if you want then you can nick the code. Just let me make a quick user guide, should have it online sometime tommorow for you to download.

I knew that for some time, but had to read it again

Thank you for a great laugh .. I needed that after the hard work today...

VISTA = Virus, Infection, Spy-ware, Trojan, Ad-Ware

Windows may not be perfect, but for me, it sure beats using and mac OS

i'd love to even know how to create my own OS

And of course... the most famous feature of Windows:
The Blue Screen of Death.
Bill Gates thoughtfully added it to every version of Windows, especially 98 and ME.
