Do you remember the days when the Operating system did not use more memory than your worse written program. Now, we have a whole bunch of them out there eating away at the valuable RAM resource we are forced to feed them.

Windows and OSX eat through the shit like two love struck girls at an ice-cream shop. The other Operating systems are cool, but the GUIs again, eat through the stuff.

There was a time when you could leave the computer on for days, weeks, months (if you  never went close to it) without a having to reboot. (Window 2000, so stable). Right now I am using Apples’ finest 10.5.4 (Leopard); and it still bites. Samba shuts down once you stop using it for a while and a reboot is needed to get to those shares you have on other computers. iTunes eats away at the RAM, and after a few days, the computer just gets mad slow. So slow that it becomes un-usable until you restart. And at that time, you need to hold down the power button as it freezes along the way.

Is there anyone out there taking note of the crap we are being feed, and have to pay good money for.

What I want is for the OS programmers out there is to stop adding on features that the consumer may never use, and start making the ones that they have already written stable. Take the time to look at yor code, see where one can close those loose ends. As of now, we have Apple thinking about Snow Leopard, it should be a bunch of fixes that should have been there already, but we will pay for that upgrade. Microsoft, I am not seeing a road map that fixes the problems that plague the OS. Vista has become the new ME, I ran the OS for a month before moving back to 98, then over to 2000, Vista will get the skip this time around.

Well, folks, just getting some stuff off my mind. :p
