Another Day With My PC

Have you ever wondered why there isn’t any company that’s bold enough to really challenge Microsoft in the OS business?

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not one of those who want Microsoft’s head for eating up almost all of the software pie. In fact, I think that Bill Gate’s men have done tremendously well in multiplying the things that a PC could do.

However, as with any industry, a healthy competition wouldn’t hurt. On the contrary, it may even improve software development to a level that has never been seen before. Many are complaining that Window’s beauty is just skin deep. It has been proven a number of times that its design is somewhat flawed. Hackers could easily get into it, modify its Windows registry and alter critical files. How else would you explain the countless patches that Microsoft issues almost incessantly?

I want an OS that can really harness the full potential of today’s processors. Many say that CPUs are not just fast enough or can’t keep up with the pace set by software engineers. Well, if you ask me, I think that many software, including operating systems, can run fast even on older processors if program writers would just take the time to find a way to quench their product’s thirst for more computing power.
