Finally, today i was able to resurrect my pc... after a long illness.... ranging from virus attacks to partial disk failures to partial windows failure to what not. I had been working through dos for the last 2 weeks! and just clicking for winamp seems like a luxury.. rather than following the usual procedure i had become accustomed to for opening a file or an application.. which was opening the task manager, running cmd prompt from there n following the path where the particular application lies and finally being able to open it!! "alt+tab" had been like a saviour... even now my hand is accustomed to be on alt n tab!!
what would have happened had not there been a man named Bill Gates? I know some would say it would have meant there were no bugs to fix,no patches to install n no security threats to plug! But then, he's responsible for the GUI operating system that we have been taking for granted all the while... just imagine mounting every drive u wanted to use... mounting pen drives every time u connected them.. n that through tedious commands n not just mouse clicks....!! aahhh..... hmmm... coming to another topic.. we've got a new windows to look forward to..
Windows 7, code name Blackcomb or in general sense windows Vienna, due to release in december 2009 or early 2010. so by the time we're done upgrading our systems just to be eligible to install Windows Vista (that is having at least 2 Gigs of ram, a decent processor, a better than average graphics card..et all) we'll be shunned aside as passe.. move over vista ppl.. heres Vienna... i can just imagine the system requirement that Vienna would ask for..say a min of 4GB ram.. atleast a quad core processor, a 2 GB Nvidia graphics card.. n it would be installed through a blu ray disc so a blu ray reader would be required.. plus it would take up 40GB of disk space.... haah!!! maann,... technology is growing exponentially! and i see no end to it!!!!

Technology my dear is like girlfriends. By the time you think you have the best one, there's probably another out there, hotter, better, reliable, scalable, stable...And of course more demanding!
haha! good one!! straight out from sidhuism!!!
good comment by harry there..lolzz
@ankur: what is that pic supposed to depict?
it isnt bill gates who is responsible for windows, the major stuff came from QDOS..n i have conveniently forgotten the name of the guy who developed QDOS..bill gates simply confunded this guy and this guy said it on TV, if gates had announced his intentions then QDOS would have been sold to IBM.. :)
Thus, bill gates is responsible for only being a business genius.
