Trying to head off a Unix vs. Windows vs. Mac debate......

There's no question that a _robust_ distributed, internetworked computing 
environment comparable to the Internet could not have been created 
without something like Unix, at least today.  I can't imagine today's 
environment of 5,000,000 Internet hosts running on some variety of System 
7.x or DOS or especially Windows.....  Imagine running the phone system 
on Windows....?  I can't.  (Note: I am not technically trained.)

It's true that the GUI makes the Web sing, but that's not "Windows."
