STOP DOING OSes
- Machines were not meant to have more than one function
- YEARS of OSes, yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for sharing CPU time between multiple programs
- Want to run a different program anyway? We had a tool for that: It was called EEPROMS
- "Yes, please install a program for me. Oh, there's a software update available" — statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
"Hello, I need drivers installed to use this hardware"
They have played us for absolute fools
