A perfect operating system?

It seems very unlikely. We have these three - Macintosh, Windows and Linux. And it’s been like this since ages now. None of these is going towards anything that can be called perfection. Windows XP was the nearest it got. But even XP has hundreds of miles to go.

What we need is a centralised operating system, like a Mac, with the software ‘talking’ to the hardware, a whole centralised system, so that all the small compatibility glitches that ‘pinch’, are eliminated. We have the fight between Open Source and Proprietary software, and this is hampering the development of both.

But I am not giving up hope. There will be a day when we will have a system that does not have ANY bugs, issues, problems. Software that wouldn’t require support. A hybrid between the current three leaders, with someone to smoothly integrate all of them would be quite close to it.
