That "better irq handling chip" that you are talking about is available on single processor systems. Check out the intel 815 chipset. That chip is called an APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) and each one on average will provide around 30 interrupt vectors each and you can have multiple of these in the system.
Of course the OS has to support them but that is a totally different story.
Just because Big Bill isn't going "Bwahahahaha" the whole time, doesn't mean that M$ ain't evil. Your definition sounds more like a cartoon stereotype than a reasonable working def. Putting your profits ahead of the life, health, and freedom from pain of any number of others? *That's* evil.
And to you, putting profits first being an evil thing is a value judgement. Look at AOL...they keep blanking the country side with AOL CD's which just end up in the garbage pile is evil. I mean they are litterally destorying our enivornment which is not easy to clean up. To clean up the stuff that Microsoft puts out you just delete it and re-use them bits.
Oh you must be a kid or something. The playing field is not level because there is always at least one person out there that will work harder for what they want then the other guy. This means that the harder working guy will get what they want and the guy who didn't work as hard may not get what he wants. This is the sorry fact of life as I would love to wake up, walk to my sofa, put my feet up and start watching tv while I am eating peanuts because guess what? I don't have to work as there is no reason to put in any extra work into getting something because that "something" will come to me simply because I exist.
This is one reason why communism is so easly corrupted. Unless everyone does the exact equal work and recieves the exact equal reward out of the sheer kindness of their heart, there will be someone out there who will do that little something special for what they want. Now everything is off balence.
I guess you have never dealt with projects that have..oh lets stay small here...at least a 100,000 lines of code with 5-7 years of history in it. That codes has been pushed pulled and spanked into a well rounded machine today and guess what? It still has bugs. do you think you could write something better and still get the product out the door on time with less bugs? Do you think it would take less time than just working the fixes in?
No you can not just plug one usb controller to another. You have to have essentially a piece of harware that works as a crossover due to the power issues on the bus (it would cause neg - neg and then pos - pos. not really a good idea).
As to 1394 networking being more bandwidth than 100mbit networking that is incorrect. 1394 does have a 400mbit bus but due to all of the overhead involved it can only pump out about 70mbits of actual data per second.
I know one reason. With a 3rd wheel you now have to implement some sort of steering mechanism. With just 2 wheels all the has to happen is one wheel slows down to turn.

Go to Taipie, Tawian sometime. Scooters drive on sidewalks and streets. Nothing worse than walking down the sidewalk and hearing the honking horn of scooter right behind you.
Ah...you are an oviously small time coder. Once it is known that the project is going to continue to grow and get EnhancEd then you must stop....design/speced/architected the current level of features out and then continue. A project that is design/speced/architected well will prevent you from having to go through and rewrite most of the project like you have oviously had to ("the source is so diffirent, its not funny, i only see 2 LINES from my existing source code").
The world owes a lot to Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Eric S. Raymond, Tim Berners-Lee and the countless other heroes of the Open Source futurity either posting here on SlashDot or toiling messianically away in obscurity
And what you have to remember is without Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer and Friends at IBM...these guys wouldn't matter today (at least in the same way they matter today).

Uh? That wasn't the orginal "vision". The orginal "vision" was a network for the United States Armed Forces that wouldn't go down because one node was blown out of existences.
So before you post something like this...please relize where the Internet came from. It was called Arpanet.
Sadly you are misinformed. There is nothing in this case that your BIOS has to support as the BIOS isn't used when configuring that PCI-to-PCI bridge as the configuration is done by the PCI driver in the system (in Windows at least).

Would that be because Linux doesn't completely support ACPI? Huh? I mean ACPI is a god send and Linux's support SUCKS!
AOL not a monopoly? Maybe but Turner-Aol is sure a HUGE media giant that controls not how I use my computer but the information that I get to hear.
For the API's try:

You will see that all of their API's are documented there.
piss=good?

A company's failure to seek corporate amnesty can have potentially devastating consequences on its executives
This sounds like only if the company isn't incorporated the executives can go to jail....Microsoft is incorporated.

how does one read the electronic manual if they don't have an install on their system? This is one reason why the install sucks.
Well considering I see lots comments from 1991 in the nt source code I would have to say alot of the code is 5-10 years old.
wherein SDEs often do design work and test work, and SDETs often do the work of SDTs
What is a SDT? Did you mean to say STE (Software Test Engineer).
The ability to run on multiple processors, ntfs, complete acpi support, stability, etc.
What are you smoking? The OS/2 subsystem doesn't exist in WindowsXP. It was pulled early in the product cycle. So how does its networking run on OS/2?
Really? I don't seem them anywhere. All I see is advertisements for the X-Box.

Pleaz. Ever heard of a guy named David Cutler? He is one of the greatest in the world. Linux and Alan are just famous. Nothing special...move on.

If Linux wants to be like Windows, that fine. Windows stands for 'good-enough' and mediocrity.
And Linux states for hard to use and obsure.

It is not possible to have a piece of bug free software that is not secure. That is a oxymoron.
