One of the things this article talks about is web sites being unable to animate things close to 60Hz and wondering how that will go when 120Hz and higher displays become mainstream. However: Doing everything over a worldwide internetwork on a CPU and OS independent platform that can be used for tasks as diverse as talking to your GPU, or interacting with real time audio/video was not part of the "original plan." Yes, DOS is more responsive but you can't have 6 image-heavy large documents open on your computer while Webex'ing, observing your weather, having a Youtube video open, and playing a game all during your Webex under DOS. The comparison is not apples to apples anymore, but if DOS serves your needs, use it. It reminds me of this article comparing Windows NT to CPM: http://www.oualline.com/practical.programmer/cpm.html http://www.oualline.com/practical.programmer/cpm.html The article also talks about Windows updates. That's a legitimate concern. Microsoft needs to rip out that system and start completely over. Look at this article from Microsoft entitled "Windows Updates using forward and reverse differentials" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/psfxwhitepaper https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/p...) - wtf? I don't even know why any of this is necessary for a system that should just overwrite files with later versions. If you wanted evidence that Windows Updates is overengineered, there you go.
