What if GNU and Linux had cloned MSDOS, not Unix?

- timonoko 11y agoUtter cluelessness is so funny. MSDOS was going to be like Unix with subdirs and redirection and shit. But goddammerung, it had to be like CP/M too, and CP/M used "/" as an option switch, so MSDOS directories were indicated with "\". This was so very depressing that many fixes were available, but nothing worked totally and everywhere.
