By criticizing Unix I did not mean look at Windows etc.... There are systems which take the good parts of the Unix philosophy (composability, uniformity) but abandon the bad parts (text, hierarchical files, mutability, the name based permission model, etc.). There are various research crowds such as the FP and capabilities people are usually at the forefront of this but the research to production cycle is very long since Unix is entrenched. In my experience a lot of systems programmers are reactionaries and make this cycle longer than it should be, but that is the subjective part.
