@jamahir could not understand that Microsoft has an army of coders and each windows is a product of probably more than a million man hours. Every kink in a successful OS would require thousands of man-hours to make it happen.
janaab abu jaahil,
1. if os designs are simplified, it would be easier to debug any kinks... windows and linux are unnecessarily complicated and huge and that is why they are not reliable either during development or after... linux can be reduced and modified to make it more reliable yes but then it wouldn't matter if linux if thrown away then and replaced with a proper "real-time" os like qnx... simple and time-saving... but if linux is still used, it would be primarily for economic reasons.
2. the first version of qnx os was designed and written by two people... they started in 1980 and finished in 1982... it was based on microkernel architecture which then had nobody else making commercial releases available then... so they were pioneers.
presently, the number of qnx employees number 900+ i think.
qnx, may i say, is probably the best commercial os presently, with a faster user interface and good reliability generally... windows and linux ( whichever distro ) are no match for qnx... yes, qnx wasn't marketed more efficiently and novelly... qnx company didn't in better way sit on hardware design committees of the industry.
infosys started one year after qnx company, has now 80,000+ employees i think of which 70,000+ would be engineers ( graduates, post graduates, phds )... could this company not find a single person to design a os??
now, don't shout mba nonsense like "man hours"... try to answer to my simple question.
He is not even clear about whether it should be better or not
didn't i say this...
so why don't you and your friend design a os better than windows or qnx for that matter?? contact drdo and take contract from them... what is stopping you if designing os is everyday work??
or better in what parameters, in fact what is "Better"
1. a simple, practical and elegant user interface... no fancy unnecessary stuff like 3d desktop etc which takes 2 gb ram... the user interface should run within 16 mb.
2. a simpler application environment
3. simplified graphics architecture.
4. a simplified network architecture, architecturely and technically, which doesn't
5. a simplified i/o architecture, which will be enabled by simplified computer construction.
If he had some sense, he would have asked himself why Linux has a minuscule market share in spite of it being free and actually better than Windows in some aspects. Linux is backed by some resourceful companies and quite a large pool of developers, if they couldn't cut it, how would he?
see my reference to qnx.
Even Google with its huge resources couldn't succeed in the desktop OS market.
google didn't even attempt to design/write a os from scratch, they simply did created yet another distro of linux (
Chrome OS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ).
again, if all it took was big funds and big teams to design a os, infosys would have done it 15 years ago.
Business decisions are not taken with delusional egos, companies find a niche and invest as per their area of strength.
it is not "delusional" but day-dreaming egos that lead to organizations like spacex... give me a indian equivalent.
