That's not rationing.

That's nothing to do with rationing.

Certainly not rationing.

Knowing your ability to use words correctly, I can only presume
by that you mean "have a cup of tea". Sure, thanks.

All GUIs are, dipshit.

Yes, but it is incorporated into a completely new kernel write.

You're an idiot. This ain't Windows 95 over DOS, dumbass.

>the operation through QBasic.

Bwuahahahahaha!

> This is why Vista needs so much RAM.

You're nuts! By your logic alone, "DOS" wouldn't know what to do
with it, so your bullshit doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Imagine that.

You're an idiot. Vista was a full rewrite of the NT paradigm with
modern processor features expanded upon.

No shell on an old version on top of yet another old OS.

They (all gui run OSes) are ALL GUI shells OVER underlying
operational activities.

You'd have to be an absolute idiot to not know that.
