   Is this true about Microsoft's Windows operating system?

     @Meachamus_Prime @furgar it was never "originally a desktop application" and the NT kernel since the beginning was multiuser and represented a clean break from windows 3/9x.
     
     which one is better depends on your workload and your philosophy on ownership, although I won't use windows because it spies on you.

     Yes, for the most part. They rectified most the issues with the Windows 7 kernel, but they still are fundamentally a vulnerable, single-user operating system with multiple users as an after thought, whereas Linux was multiuser from the beginning. Windows has become more stable over the years, but it keeps back stepping as they add new "features" where Linux tends to get its new features verified as stable long before mainstream use.

     Linux is just a better OS.

     @Meachamus_Prime @furgar it ran on top of DOS but DOS was barely an operating system. after Windows was bootstrapped it directly accessed hardware. the history of the 3.x/9x kernels are not relevant to NT.
     
     I have never heard that Windows was not full multiuser until 7, I'm interested to learn more.

     Yes, exactly! Windows 3.x/9x was the desktop application for DOS. You are correct that NT was intended to be multiuser, but, as I said, it wasn't functionally multiuser until Windows 7, and even then it was a hack job that had to be fixed multiple times to get there. Now if they would have stayed with that stable multiuser philosophy for all the following major updates to their kernel, it might have remained competitive.

     @Meachamus_Prime @furgar btw the guy who runs tastingtraffic is definitely mentally ill, I would not give anything on there the benefit of the doubt.
