Anne my first reaction was this yo-yo has no clue at all the very first line he says computer operating system as we know it today is as dead as the planetary transmission that drove the Model T Ford. A fact checker should have told him all current automatic transmissions are derived from that same planetary gear system, and it ain't an obsolete concept, the only thing obsolete about plantary gears tranmissions from model A Fords is the outside case, and that same style of case is still in use today. if he statrs out so very wrong and miss-informed about stuff he states as fact it the very first paragraph, why in the name of crap would I read on, or begin to think this guy has a clue about OSs.

Subject: [newbie] ARTICLE: Operating Systems to become obsolete? Very similar to www.linuxbios.com capabilities. There are a few companies starting to use Linux kernel as its bios now. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

In reply to Greg's mail, d.d. Tue, 25 Feb 2003 21:35:36 -0500: I think Jerry was referring to this http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/24/1717223 Interestingly enough, last week I read something on /. about regular software taking the place of BIOS chips, since BIOS chips were becoming too limited for what is needed from them.
