Default Why aren't computer clocks as accurate as cheap quartz watches?

You don't need to look at the code. Just write a program that runs in
a tight loop, and run it. If you can still switch to other tasks in
the system, you have preemptive multitasking. And on NT and its
descendants, you can do exactly that.


Oye! I was right, you don't know what pre-emptive multitasking is......
Wikipedia is not the source of all knowledge.....

NT and 2000 had plenty of OS/2 code in their kernel, and can even
run text mode OS/2 apps.


You can run MS-DOS apps, too, but that doesn't mean that NT contains
MS-DOS code.

If you had seen the code...... you would know that.


I don't remember if I ever looked at compatibility stuff. I wasn't
much interested in emulation.


It is not emulated, it is OS/2 base code that runs native. You must be
aware of that.

As if bill gates would allow OS/2 emulation to be built into HIS
operating system rolling eyes

Gates and co. did NOT write NT from scratch. They based much of it on
the code developed at IBM for OS/2 when there was no mickysoft. Really,
anyone who was around at the time, or who bothers to check even for a
moment knows that. The only code any microsoft person ever wrote from
scratch was Bob....

OS/2 has no useful graphical interface? Thanks, I will remember that
one for a long time :-)

Either way, have a nice day. No point in wasting bandwidth on the same
old stuff year after year. Doesn't really matter in the long run. Take
a shot back to make you feel even. No big thing..... g
