Windows, Linux 25 Year Old "Clunkers"?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Tuesday January 3, 2006 @10:34PM from the tell-us-what-you-really-think dept.

Phil817 writes to tell us that Bob Metcalfe recently gave a TV interview in which he stated that current operating systems (Windows and Linux) are outdated clunkers that wont be able to adequately handle the coming of "video internet" and suggests that new operating systems need to be developed to take hold in a few years. Also, when asked if current deals in the works like eBay's purchase of Skype were an indication of more investment hype he replied with "I'm looking forward to the next Internet bubble. I don't know what everyone's so negative about. The last bubble was lots of fun.". Let us at least hope we learned a few things from the last bubble.

I think we should be allowed to mod the stories as well as the comments. This way we could get rid of both the dupes and the trolls like the current story.

I think that is a terrible idea - I view slashdot at +5 and I want to see more than just advertisements.

Actually, if we could comment on the advertisements, maybe it would be ok...
