You are NOT serious.  Are you kidding me?  UNIX was developed in the 
1960's.  I'm not over 50 and I started out on a Xenix server at Virginia 
Tech in 1990.  My mother didn't start on Windows, she started on Ubuntu. 
    and DOS was not the original free operating system.  You really, 
SERIOUSLY, can't be that silly to post something like this without 
checking your facts.  Until DOS became irrelevant it was never free. 
(DR-DOS was back in the caldera days.)

Do you not realize Microsoft has been trying FOR YEARS to make Windows 
more like Unix/Linux?  The new 'power shell', multi-user kernels, etc. 
Unix is only 'copying Windows' in the GUI arena, and they really are 
more copying Apple than MS.

Please, I ask you nicely, before you send stuff like this, use google. 
It's a great search engine that can help you get your facts straight.  I 
use it quite often.  It can be found at http://www.google.com
